Datacenters

cabinet family. The IMPress product range is the result of a radically new design approach which sets it
apart from conventional designs. The lead designer on the project is David Horne, who was the long

Mumbai, Maharashtra, June 16, 2010 /India PRwire/ -- APW President Systems is proud to announce the
launch of announce the launch of its new and highly innovative IMPress server cabinet family. The
IMPress enclosure solution, designed for the global market, was launched on 15th June 2010 at
the CommunicAsia2010 Singapore Expo.
The IMPress product range is an unique enclosure solution especially designed to address the major
challenges faced by today's Datacenter Managers. It is the result of a radically new design approach
which sets it apart from conventional designs that have been the standard for decades. IMPress
introduces several highly customer-centric new features, the result of feedback from actual users
gathered over many years.
"The IMPress family for the housing of Servers and Networking
equipment has been developed keeping in mind the problems faced by
Integrators and Installers. Based on an "Open Frame" concept, IMPress
provides unmatched all-round accessibility, making equipment
installation and cable management much easier than is possible with
conventional "4 corner pillar" enclosure designs," said E A Elias,
Managing Director, APW President Systems.
The new IMPress Server Cabinet
The design goals for the IMPress emphasize ease-of-assembly at site, rapid deployment - by making it
easy to gather in the pre-installed cables from overhead or under floor - and the orderly routing and
termination of the optical fibre cable bunches. Several path-breaking new features and accessory items
have been developed especially for the IMPress family so as to provide Datacenter Managers with a
complete solution to the problems that they face routinely today.
IMPress cabinets can be assembled at site in 20 minutes or less by a team of two persons using common
hand tools. All parts and assemblies are designed for rapid installation and no adjustments are needed.
All external covers and panels are latched from inside the cabinet, thus ensuring security. The rear of the
cabinet has built-in provision for the installation of power distribution accessories and cable management
channels. Here too the "Open Frame" design of the IMPress allows these accessories to be located at
the extreme sides of the cabinet, leaving the centre space clear for the unimpeded flow of hot exhaust air
from the equipment towards the fully perforated rear doors.
IMPress Cabling Frame
The IMPress Cabling Frame, which is being introduced with the IMPress cabinet, will be of particular
interest to Datacenter Managers. It is designed to be be constructed at site from a kit and fits between
two 600mm wide Server cabinets so as to form a 200mm wide compartment between them. Extensive

2. cable management facilities are provided within the Cabling Frame for the orderly and safe routing and
management of optical fibre cable bunches. Front and rear doors, that open either way, can be unlatched
only after gaining access through the adjoining cabinets, thus maintaining the high level of security that is
a feature of the IMPress.
The IMPress Cabling Frame eliminates the need to have 800mm wide networking cabinets solely for the
housing and distribution of cables to Server Cabinets. This makes it possible for Datacenter planners to
standardise on just one style of cabinet instead of two, and can also lead to savings in valuable floor
space.
