GERMANY: Data centre cooling company Stulz has entered into a global partnership with Rittal, the German provider of industrial enclosures and IT infrastructure.

As a result of the agreement, the two companies say they will be better equipped to offer customers end-to-end solutions, tailored to their needs. 

Rittal’s IT infrastructure portfolio will now be combined with powerful liquid-based closed-circuit chillers, free-cooling products, side chillers and indoor chillers from Stulz. Rittal’s contribution includes IT enclosures, cooling units, and power-supply solutions, as well as software for data centre management and IT system monitoring.

The joint offering also extends to global support and other services for the entire IT infrastructure lifecycle. 

According to the companies, their data centre solutions will be future-proof and investment-protected. In addition, customers can be sure of transparent TCO analysis, high availability and security, backed by robust monitoring, they say.
