Imagine if technologies such as cloud and edge computing, data analytics, AI or 5G evolved automatically to keep pace with latest developments, and you no longer needed to worry about the impossible IT challenges posed by the explosive growth in data traffic. Imagine if a standardised platform could enable you to respond faster, more reliably and more effectively to any IT scenario. Imagine if you could create new business models by rapidly capturing, transmitting and analysing vast quantities of data while still retaining full sovereignty over your own data.
Sounds like a pipe dream? It’s not. It’s already a reality. In collaboration with our partners, our “Rittal Ecosystem IT” already has the answers to these questions. It uses standardised components, systems and solutions create a scalable, cost-effective IT environment for edge and cloud scenarios that meets every conceivable requirement.

Rittal DataCube RDC – A data centre in a container
Ever-expanding data volumes are having a major impact on IT infrastructures. Demand for CPU and storage capacity is growing at an equally rapid pace, creating a need for ever more servers and storage systems, yet the floorspace available for IT infrastructure has barely changed. Rittal’s data centres in a container are the perfect solution. These standardised systems are very quick to install, with a customised concept tailored to your individual requirements.
The benefits for you:
- Customised, platform-based container solutions
- Predefined modules are combined to create a customised container data centre
- Pre-assembled container solutions can be up and running in next to no time.
- Project planning by Rittal
- Turnkey delivery of a field-tested solution complete with comprehensive documentation.
Lifecycle IT
A data centre is continuously evolving and adapting. It needs to be flexible to keep pace with a company’s changing requirements. With the comprehensive portfolio of solutions that make up its Lifecycle IT, Rittal will support you throughout all four phases of your data centre’s lifecycle: from planning and implementation through to the operation and optimisation of an IT infrastructure spanning multiple locations.
Design
Once the concept has been drafted, the appropriate solution modules are selected, and the investment (CAPEX) and operating costs (OPEX) calculated.
Implementation
The physical infrastructure (electricity, cooling, monitoring, security) is installed. Other IT components (servers, storage, switches) may optionally be integrated by Rittal and its partners. This is followed by commissioning and sign-off.
Operations
The data centre is operated by the client or by one of our partners as a managed service.
Optimization
The efficiency, cost and sustainability of the installed solution are carefully analysed to identify any potential for optimization in your data centre.
IT consulting and system solutions
When scaling data centre projects in multiple dimensions, how do you determine the correct structure and size? How do you choose between small, distributed edge data centres, container and high-performance data centres, “conventional” core and company data centres or cloud, colocation and hyperscale data centres? And how about cooling – do you opt for rack, suite or room climate control, water or refrigerant-based, indirect or direct?
By adopting an holistic approach encompassing all framework conditions and influencing factors, you can help to avoid planning errors and develop a future-proof solution. The expert teams at our Rittal IT Competence Centres are extremely knowledgeable, with many years of experience drawn from countless international IT projects. Our specialists can assist you with all aspects of concept development and execution of data centres, TCO calculations, and issues relating to security and monitoring/maintenance planning.
