As the demands on IT infrastructure accelerate, from edge computing to enterprise-scale digitalisation, organisations need a rack platform that offers more than just housing for equipment. They need flexibility, speed, strength, and security.
The VX IT from Rittal is a universal, modular IT rack system designed for exactly that. Developed as part of Rittal’s next-generation infrastructure portfolio, VX IT provides a consistent platform for network and server applications across all modern IT environments, including edge, colocation, and hyperscale data centres.
Security and Ease of Use – Customised at All Levels
VX IT is built to meet the operational needs of modern IT environments while maintaining a strong focus on physical security. Lockable front and rear doors protect equipment from unauthorised access. Optional side panel locks enhance protection further, particularly in shared or decentralised sites.
Ease of access is also a core part of the design. Hinged or removable side panels, ergonomic handles, and tool-free installation features allow for fast, controlled servicing. Quick-release mechanisms reduce downtime during maintenance and system upgrades, while integration with electronic access control systems enables centralised security management.
VX IT ensures that IT equipment is not only protected, but easily and safely accessible when required.
High Load Capacity – With Maximum Flexibility
Modern data centres and server environments are increasingly populated with dense, heavy hardware. VX IT is designed to handle the load.
With static load capacities of up to 1,500 kg, reinforced vertical sections, and rigid frame construction, the system offers excellent stability, even under high-performance conditions. VX IT supports mounting depths from 600 mm to 1,200 mm, and baying options are available to create tailored enclosures for specific layouts and workloads.
The platform also includes optional castor solutions, offering mobility where needed, without sacrificing structural integrity. Whether for stationary server rooms or mobile IT setups, VX IT is engineered to perform.
Comprehensive Modular System – For All Requirements
VX IT is more than a rack, it’s a complete infrastructure platform designed to meet all functional and operational requirements.
Its tool-free assembly accelerates installation and minimises complexity during maintenance or reconfiguration. The system integrates seamlessly with Rittal’s RiMatrix Next Generation (NG), enabling consistent infrastructure management across cooling, power distribution, and environmental monitoring.
A wide range of modular accessories is available to support custom airflow, cabling, and layout requirements, enabling optimal energy efficiency and equipment performance. The system is also compliant with international standards, including IEC/EN 62368 and UL 2416, ensuring it meets safety and design benchmarks for global installations.
Whether building a corridor distributor, an edge site, or a hyperscale cluster, VX IT offers a consistent and customisable solution.
Ready for the Future of IT
VX IT supports a future-focused approach to infrastructure, delivering fast deployment, compatibility with existing systems, and the ability to scale as technology evolves. It’s the backbone of next-generation IT environments, providing the strength, simplicity, and security required in a rapidly changing digital landscape.
For IT professionals and facility managers looking for a proven, tested, and certified infrastructure platform, VX IT offers a clear advantage.
