Future-proof, Resilient Data Centres
As our society transitions towards more data-driven decision-making and our reliance on technology grows, so the importance of data centres increases, powering our demand for advanced computing capabilities and facilitating the rapid expansion of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies.
However, the speed with which AI has been adopted across the globe has been overwhelming. And it’s not just the speed of adoption that’s creating tensions: AI has substantial computational requirements, such that its workloads are placing significant stresses on data centres.
Building in resilience and scalability in anticipation of future expansion is one way that data centres can create flexible, agile spaces which can rapidly change as the industry adjusts to the demands of the new technology.
Our IT Infrastructure Solutions
Data and technology have a crucial role to play in modern society. So we believe that IT infrastructure solutions should be easy to install and maintain, reliable and secure. Today’s solution should still be suitable tomorrow, despite the rapid pace of change in the industry.
And each solution should look awesome.

The rapid increase in processing power, alongside power-hungry technology advances such as Artificial Intelligence, electric vehicles, and the Internet of Things, mean that IT cooling and climate control needs to be more effective than ever before. That's why we've devised future-proof data centre cooling solutions that can cost-effectively and sustainably handle rising temperatures in data centres.
Climate control solutions from Rittal cover the full spectrum of applications in a huge range of environments, from cooling a single rack through to entire large-scale data centres. Safety and efficiency are our priorities.
Rittal’s innovative cooling units in the Blue e+ series with integral heatpipe herald a new dimension in efficiency, particularly for micro data centres at the lower end of the output range.
NEW: Direct Liquid Cooling from Rittal
The rapid escalation in the performance of AI servers poses a number of challenges. Increased performance densities mean higher heat loads, and therefore demand significantly more cooling output. Air cooling systems are being pushed to their limits.
The solution? Rittal has designed a direct liquid cooling (DLC) portfolio tailored to the needs of hyperscalers. Our solutions allow effortless integration into the existing IT infrastructure and are designed for maximum efficiency, so your IT systems can operate at maximum performance without consuming unnecessary energy.
Rittal's Cooling Solutions
LCP DX: Ideal for cooling of small and medium-sized IT applications.
Innovative cooling system providing cooling directly at the place where heat arises.
Dependable and energy-efficient room cooling for data centres, with maximum precision and fail-safe operation.
Aisle containment controls the temperature in data centres by encouraging a more efficient flow of cool air into and warm air out of the facility.

Effective power distribution is crucial for ensuring the seamless operation and reliability of IT systems. Proper power distribution ensures that all equipment within the data centre receives the necessary power supply, without overloading circuits or risking downtime due to power failures. It also allows for effective load balancing, maximising the utilisation of resources and reducing energy wastage.
Optimising your power distribution also facilitates the scalability and future expansion of your IT operations, accommodating the increasing demands of evolving technologies. Overall, robust power distribution infrastructure is essential for maintaining the performance, availability, and resilience of modern data centres.
Ri4Power is a modular system from Rittal for scalable low-voltage switchgear and power distributors. It provides location-flexible power distribution which is simple to assemble, offering unparalleled adaptability and flexibility for a wide range of applications.
RiLineX is the new 60mm busbar system platform for power distribution in industry, buildings and infrastructure – manufacturer-neutral and licence-free. This makes it suitable for use in almost all sectors because it adapts individually to virtually any requirement. The standardised boards may be flexibly extended as needed. The fully integrated contact hazard protection to IP 2XB, upgradable to IP 4X, ensures maximum protection and minimises the level of product and system expertise needed for planning and installation.
Enhance your grasp of your IT infrastructure using our adaptable, customised solutions designed to oversee and manage all physical aspects within your data centre environment.

Lefdal Mine Data Centre on the west coast of Norway sets new standards in our industry. As specialist in high performance computing (HPC), it is quite simply one of the greenest data centres the world and a role model in many respects.
The five-storey system of tunnels covering an area of 120,000 m² boasts an overall capacity of 200 MW. It is powered solely by renewable energy and cooled by water from a nearby fjord. It offers significant cost savings of up to 40% compared with a cloud data centre location in Germany, for example.
It's is also highly secure: Whilst the rock formation provides natural protection from electromagnetic waves, physical access is also limited to two entry points.
The Lefdal Mine Data Centre is the only facility of its kind in the world, and is proving to be a worthwhile investment, because more and more companies need access to highly flexible, secure and efficient IT resources. The standardised Rittal Data Centre Containers meet these requirements. Flexible, scalable IT infrastructures can be implemented quickly and easily.
