The pace of change in IT has never been faster. Cloud services, edge computing, and high-density hardware are redefining what data centres and the racks that support them must deliver. Businesses now demand infrastructure that can keep up with constant evolution, without compromising security, efficiency, or performance.

Rittal’s VX IT system is designed precisely for this challenge: a flexible, robust platform engineered to support everything from small network rooms to hyperscale facilities.

Here’s how VX IT is helping shape the future of IT infrastructure.

Security and Ease of Use – Customised at All Levels

In a world of increasing cyber threats and compliance requirements, physical security is critical. Yet IT teams also need fast, hassle-free access to maintain uptime and respond to operational demands.

VX IT delivers on both fronts:

• Lockable front and rear doors secure equipment from unauthorised access.
• Optional side panel locks add extra protection where needed.
• Hinged and removable side panels allow quick, tool-free access for maintenance.
• Integration with electronic access systems supports modern monitoring and control.

These design choices ensure that critical assets remain protected while routine service tasks stay efficient and disruption-free.

High Load Capacity – With Maximum Flexibility

Today’s IT hardware packs more computing power into smaller footprints, which often means higher weight and density. Infrastructure has to keep up.

VX IT racks are engineered for:

• Static load capacities of up to 1,500 kg, handling even dense server configurations and heavy UPS installations.
• Reinforced frame profiles that reduce vibration and provide mechanical stability.
• Adjustable mounting depths ranging from 600 mm to 1,200 mm, ensuring compatibility with diverse equipment.
• Optional castors for installations where mobility is essential without compromising structural integrity.

Whether it’s a lightweight network rack or a fully populated hyperscale environment, VX IT provides the strength and adaptability to support mission-critical operations.

Comprehensive Modular System – For All Requirements

Every data centre is different, shaped by unique requirements for power, cooling, and connectivity. VX IT’s modular design makes it possible to create tailored solutions without complexity.

Key benefits include:

• A wide range of modular accessories, from advanced cable management to airflow baffles and power distribution components.
• Seamless integration with Rittal’s seamless power, cooling, and monitoring.
• Certification to IEC/EN 62368 and UL 2416 standards, ensuring compliance across global markets.

This flexibility allows VX IT to serve as a scalable, future-ready platform, whether supporting a single edge deployment or forming the backbone of a global IT network.

Future-Ready Infrastructure

Technology will continue to evolve, bringing new challenges and possibilities. VX IT is built to keep pace with this change:

• It’s scalable, ready for expansion as workloads grow.
• It supports sustainable operations through efficient cooling and energy-saving designs.
• It seamlessly integrates with modern monitoring and management systems to keep operations under control.
• Investing in VX IT means building infrastructure that’s not only robust and secure today, but also capable of evolving alongside your IT strategy.

Data centres are no longer static environments. They’re dynamic ecosystems requiring infrastructure that can secure, support, and adapt. VX IT offers the flexibility, strength, and intelligent design needed for businesses to navigate the future with confidence.
