Vertiv enhances ‘Plug and
Play’ data centres from the
edge to the core
V
ertiv has announced an extension
of its modular data centre
capability with two product
families designed to give customers even
greater simplicity, efficiency and agility
when deploying data centre capacity from
the core to the edge of the network.
Vertiv SmartMod
Vertiv SmartMod, SmartMod MAX and
Power Module are available now in Europe,
the Middle East and Africa (EMEA).
Vertiv SmartMod and
SmartMod MAX
Vertiv SmartMod is a fully self-contained
easily-configurable, ready-to-order,
prefabricated modular (PFM) product
range that enables new data centre
whitespace to be added with significantly
less on-site installation required than
traditionally-built data centres.
This ‘plug and play’ approach has the
benefit of not only cutting the time for
startup and commissioning – to just a few
days instead of weeks or months – but
also reducing the potential for quality
issues as components are pre-integrated
and pre-tested off-site.
The pre-engineered and integrated design
means SmartMod also provides greater

cost-certainty for customers by reducing
the likelihood of additional on-site
modifications. In addition, when deploying
multiple units or at multiple locations,
having a common look and feel, layout and
equipment kit simplifies maintenance and
operations activities. For customers that require more capacity,
Vertiv SmartMod MAX consists of
approximately twice the capacity of the
main SmartMod product range, with up to
180 kW of IT load and 24 racks.
SmartMod is available in a configurable
range of IT load capacities from two to 12
racks (600 mm or 800 mm), up to 90 kW
of IT load and redundancy architectures
up to 2N. Alongside SmartMod, which is
designed to house IT equipment in
a fully self-contained system, Vertiv
is also releasing Power Module – a
family of offerings encompassing pre-
integrated power infrastructure. The
Power Module’s weatherproof and
easily transportable enclosure protects
the internal components that include
high performance UPS Liebert EXL S1
and batteries. In addition, its dedicated
Liebert PDX thermal management system
ensures the equipment maintains optimal
operating conditions – extending its life.
As with the SmartMod, the Power Module
comes fitted with a pre-integrated Liebert
MC microchannel outdoor condenser. This
avoids the need to install external cooling
on-site and also shortens the time from
delivery to startup of the systems.
Options include varying Liebert APM
uninterruptible power supply (UPS)
backup times and electrical and cooling
redundancy schemes, including Liebert
CRV in-row cooling.

Power Module is designed to be
deployed in new or existing facilities
that require an agile and flexible way
to scale-up power distribution and
resiliency. The module can be deployed
outside an existing facility without taking
up expensive floor-space that could
