The Cost of Oversizing: Room-level Design
Room-level design requires full initial build-
out based upon uncertain estimates of
future capacity. It can be as costly to leave
demands unmet due to under-capacity as to
incur high overhead due to overcapacity
and low utilization rates.

The Benefits of Right-sizing:
Rack-optimized Design
A rack-optimized power and cooling
solution with proactive system-wide
management allows you to target avail-
ability, pay as you grow, adapt to change,
maximize efficiency, and minimize instal-
lation, operating, service, and mainte-
nance costs.
APC InfraStruXure
™
architecture is the industry's new
benchmark for on-demand network-critical physical infra-
structure (NCPI). The foundation of IT networks, NCPI
consists of power, power distribution, racks, cabling,
cable distribution, cooling, and cooling distribution.
Strong NCPI defends your IT networks against security
and availability problems.
Complementing these benefits of strong NCPI is
InfraStruXure's open, adaptable, integrated approach,
which ensures optimal performance and lower
upfront and operating costs. InfraStruXure fully inte-
grates power, cooling, management and services
within a rack-optimized design.
