Vertiv compact and powerful data centre cooling solutions for Edge and small IT rooms

Vertiv , a global provider of critical digital infrastructure and continuity solutions , has introduced the Vertiv Liebert DM – its latest line of thermal management solutions designed for small and mediumsized computer rooms , IT closets and other edge applications . With capacity ranges from 7kW to 27kW , the Liebert DM is now available across Southeast Asia , Australia and New Zealand .

Using an intelligent algorithm , the floor-mounted Liebert DM thermal management solution provides enterprise-level cooling features to small computer rooms and network closets , to prevent overheating and downtime of IT equipment . It is designed to provide year-round temperature and humidity control for IT applications . In addition , the Liebert DM features a high Sensible Heat Ratio ( SHR ) of greater than 0.9 , making it ideal for cooling IT environments versus standard comfort cooling solutions .
The Liebert DM series is a compact and sensible cooling solution for missioncritical applications such as small IT rooms and Edge Computing infrastructure in the fields of banking , healthcare , government , transport and energy . This solution is ideal for those that require efficient , reliable and sensible equipment cooling , round-the-clock operation and precise internal environment The Liebert DM can also support battery rooms and control rooms in industrial and manufacturing applications .
Users have the option to connect up to four units of the Liebert DM series in a single network . With automatic rotation features , multiple Liebert DM units can be installed , configured and synced to ensure optimal management of heat loads in most IT environments . For example , a customer may opt to install four Liebert DM units in a computer room and program them to run in a cycle and according to schedule , ensuring equal load distribution and greater efficiency . In addition , built-in emergency features in the Liebert DM will automatically detect any failure , triggering an alarm for immediate action , thus ensuring sufficient cooling .
The Liebert DM is equipped with userfriendly controls for ease of use , including a seven-inch touchscreen colour display as well as real-time , graphical display of return air temperature and relative humidity . The Liebert DM also has built-in intelligent features for added protection , including a three-level password protection and email and SMS notification for remote monitoring functions .
“ Many of today ’ s businesses rely on sophisticated IT processors to enable digital applications in their day-to-day operations . Any failure in these delicate components can lead to potential breakdown and failure , which can have disastrous results . That ’ s why for these applications , using precision cooling versus comfort cooling is recommended for optimal operation of the IT equipment . The Liebert DM is ideal in this scenario because of its highly efficient and energy-saving features that provide the best cooling versus traditional means ,” said Preetam Shah , Director for Product Offering and Management for Edge Thermal Solutions , Vertiv Asia & India . ◊ www . intelligentdatacentres . com
