Flat-pack 19" racks reduce installation time by 75%
Two new train lines are currently under construction on the Metro system in Barcelona. The lines, which will boast driverless technology, are fully automated and will stretch almost 30 miles, with 52 stations along the way. The automation technology requires that each station hosts its own data centre with up to ten 47U, 19" rack cabinets installed. Due to the limited access to the stations the contractor responsible for the project was eager to ...
