ESSENTIAL SELECTION Private and confidential Security is an issue that affects all business types, from the smallest companies to the largest. Many businesses now adopt IP telephony to save on trunk-call costs to branches and to customers, being installed on small networks, Wi-Fi, fibre and everything in between. However, there is an ongoing requirement for these communications to remain private. Yutel Solutions, marketed in the UK by York and Union, has developed a 100 per cent uptime and totally secure end-to-end encryption solution, not just for IP desktop mounted phone systems, but for smartphones and mobiles also. The Yutel ConfidentialGateway server provides zero latency and 100 per cent secure call routing with encryption generated on the fly. For companies and government departments of any size, the Yutel solution is ideal for installers, system integrators and IT managers to ‘bolt’ on to new or existing IP phone systems from leading vendors.

This means the network connection can be accommodated in particularly narrow outlets and unusual installation situations. Using the 90° cable exit, installers can avoid manually bending cables in outlets and, as a result, avoid diminished efficiency in the LAN. Further typical areas of use are small floor tanks and narrow conduits. The Category 6A EL range from R&M is designed for the fast expansion of structured cabling systems. An installer can wire the module in under a minute. The eight copper conductors can be contacted in next to no time. Whereas in the past, several days were needed to wire a network distributor for structured cabling systems, it now takes just hours with the Category 6A EL module. The RJ-45 socket makes it possible to operate a local data network with 10 Gigabit Ethernet. The Category 6A EL module retains its full performance capacity when the 90° cable exit is used. The defined guidance of the twisted-pairs at an angle ensures stable signal quality. This means the module is also perfect for 10 Gigabit Ethernet transmission in the 90° version. The angled cable exit is an accessory which can be assembled on every standard Category 6A EL standard. The advantage – installers require just one module type which they can use to deal with all tasks and applications. This simplifies logistics during installation work, the termination of the RJ-45 connections and later maintenance work on the LAN.

Utilising a standardised approach to design, operation and management, the SmartShelter Data Hall is a multi-module, prefabricated solution that enables customers to quickly add capacity in increments of 50-100+ racks. This dramatically simplifies the initial development and on site installation, whilst providing a resilient data centre solution that is more predictable in cost and performance, when compared to a traditionally built facility. The spacious solutions are factory assembled and tested with Schneider Electric’s data centre racks, power, precision cooling, and integrated with Struxureware Data Center Expert DCIM softw
