Network-Critical Physical Infrastructure (NCPI)
Essential foundation of
reliability

You have a large NCPI investment
Cooling Equipment: 6%
Power Equipment: 17%
Racks: 3%
Engineering &Installation: 19%
Space: 17%
Electricity: 27%Service: 13%
Typical 10 yr lifecycle TCO from $80K to $140K per rackSource: APC White Paper #6

Network-Critical Physical Infrastructure Challenges
Rapid changes in IT technology
High density
High operating/service costs
Increasing availability expectations
Server consolidation
Regulatory requirements
In response, APC is changing the way the world designs, installs, operates, manages and maintains Network-Critical Physical Infrastructure (NCPI)

Standardisation enables improved availability
Modularise
Pre-test systems in the factory
Hot swappable
Pre-Integrate Power-Cooling-Rack Management & diagnostics
One-Time Engineering
Unique training requirements
On-site assembly
On-site testing
Custom programming
Standardise To Eliminate
Standardisation accelerates learning at all levels, reducing human error and increasing availability

Needs Assessment

The Design Concept is built on standardised parts that can be scaled to meet the need?
Construction Design incorporates a “Lego Block” approach of pre-engineered components?
Construction is mainly done in a factory instead of on-site?
Commissioning tests pre-integrated infrastructure systems.
