WheelHouse is a solution portfolio for a data processing center.

2016: Expansion of a line WheelHouse

On July 22, 2016 the Siemon company announced expansion of a line WheelHouse inclusion of a system of the partitions isolating cold corridors (CAC, Cold Aisle Containment) and hot (HAC, Hot Aisle Containment).

According to the statement of the company, use of the solution increases efficiency of cooling systems and expands possibilities of modern data processing centers at the low cost level.

System of corridors Siemon, (2016)

The upgraded system of partitions and dividers separates cold corridors from hot zones in data processing centers and directs the cooling air to the equipment heated – to by-pass air ducts, preventing their mixing. Withdrawal of flows of heated air increases efficiency of the existing cooling systems and reduces costs for the electric power, allowing conditioning blocks to work in the machine hall in the optimal mode. Similar solutions increase refrigerating capacity in DPC without installation of additional refrigerating appliances.

More high temperature of returnable air flows does heat exchange in cooling systems to more intensive. The performance indicator of use of energy of PUE improves, and costs for the electric power decrease as fans can work with smaller speed. It is possible to use a cooling water with more high temperature, and economizers work a bigger number of hours. At the same time active equipment in DPC is cooled sufficiently to support high performance for all life. The system of the isolating partitions is suitable both for use in new DPCs, and for upgrade of earlier built machine halls. It is economic method to prevent excessive development of cold, but at the same time to allow a data processing center to extend and be improved. The partitions isolating cold corridors can be used on the objects equipped with raised floors and which are not using returnable air ducts. The elements which are taking away heated air can be applied to prevent mixing of hot flows with a mass of other air outside the isolated corridors. Stuart Gray, products manager of Siemon company

In the system of the isolating partitions of Siemon the reliable sealants providing heat insulation are applied. For department of cold corridors the panels blocking a corridor on top are used. Vertical back panels of cabinets are applied to isolation of hot zones. From end faces corridors are blocked by unary or double doors which are offered in the options which are closed automatically or manually. Also the panels allowing to close tightly a corridor from an end face are offered. All components are intended for fast installation on objects in addition to cabinets of Siemon VersaPOD, V800 and V600 for data processing centers. The system of partitions is also compatible to frames of SidePOD and the directing partitions of Baffle of production of Siemon company which provide side cooling to those types of the equipment which need it. A system can be added with a wide range of accessories and the accompanying names, including continuous panels stubs (block positions and apertures in which cabinets are not set), brackets for fastening to a wall (are used for unary ranks of cabinets), the angle supporting brackets for vertical panels (are applied in the absence of fastening to upper overlappings) and also the upper installation brackets filling gaps when using in a general series of cabinets of models of the reduced height (42U).

2015: Solutions for support of DPC

On November 10, 2015 the Siemon company announced WheelHouse release - groups of modern solutions for support of DPC of any size and type: from big high-performance computing environments and server for joint placement to small and medium data processing centers at the enterprises.

As a part of WheelHouse:

• end-to-end copper cable systems,
• modern fiber optic solutions,
• high-speed switching means,
• cabinets for DPC (including cabinets with a preliminary configuration),
• racks,
• cable organizer and accessories,
• distributing of a power supply and infrastructure management.

As a part of a portfolio high-performance copper cable systems with the twisted pair cables Z-MAX of category 6A F/UTP and TERA of category 7A, including patch panels, cords, segments of factory assembly and a patch cords.

In addition to the complete range of modern fiber optic solutions of LightHouse, enter the "Plug and Play" system of ultrahigh density LightStack with support of speed to 40/100  Gbps it, "pull-push" the jumpers LC BladePatch with the innovation lock, cable organizers with good functionality and the broad range of the body, connectors for field conditions, jumpers, semi-cords and the systems of merging by a welding method.

The selection of the compatible to the equipment Cisco and passed independent test SFP+ QSFP+ of passive and active copper and fiber optic cable systems provides applications from a point to a point of very high speed.

Concerning infrastructure, WheelHouse includes a wide line of cabinets for a data processing center. The solutions VersaPOD and V800 optimizing a vertical space of Zero-U between cabinets and at the end of a row for switching, distributing of a power supply and a cable organizer, strong economic server cabinets of V600 and the solution for preserving of heat/cold in passes. For ensuring speed of deployment the customized cabinets for DPC of V-Built with a preliminary configuration can be equipped with the means of the Siemon connection, cable assemblies, BRP, a cable organizer and accessories which are previously collected and packed at one number for delivery to an installation site in ready for a joint with the working equipment a type. The portfolio also includes a complete line of solutions on power supply distributing among which there are a PowerMax and intellectual BRP available in measuring, the controlling, intellectual, switching and managing options with functions of monitoring of the environment and infrastructure management of DPC.

In ensuring management options on infrastructure management are provided: EagleEye software, the combining automated by infrastructure management (AIM) with future opportunities of UITsOD – planning of capacity, monitoring of the environment and a power supply, control of the virtual machine.

The extensive range of services on design of architecture of DPC complements WheelHouse 2D - and 3D-risunkami/modelyami, bills of materials, the thermal analysis, planning of trunks and spaces, with the expert reference book on compliance to standards, topology and architecture.
