Emerson Network Power, a business of Emerson and a global leader in maximizing availability, capacity and efficiency of critical infrastructure, today introduced the SmartCabinet™, a pre-engineered integrated rack solution designed for deployment at the edge of IT networks and remote locations such as stores, branch offices and small and medium businesses. These compact, rapidly deployable solutions support local data storage and processing with the industry’s most comprehensive single-cabinet unified infrastructure solution that provides secure remote monitoring and manageability. The SmartCabinet for branch and remote locations is available in North America.
Because standardization is critical in locations without dedicated IT professionals on staff, Emerson Network Power’s SmartCabinet for branch locations is available in multiple standard configurations that can be tailored to meet an organization’s specific needs. This enables remote locations to rapidly deploy managed IT infrastructure in a simple, efficient and standardized manner. SmartCabinet enables the distributed IT infrastructure to be managed, monitored and maintained remotely, decreasing mean time to repair and significantly improving uptime independent of network health.

The integrated serial console server allows IT managers to centrally manage all IT assets and infrastructure remotely without having to dispatch support personnel or contractors. These operations are secure and network-independent with public switched telephone network (PSTN) or 4G LTE capabilities and full Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS)-compliant encryption and authentication.
The SmartCabinet for branch offices also takes advantage of Emerson Network Power’s expertise in power distribution and uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems, offering intelligent power distribution, battery health monitoring and class-leading power conditioning and battery backup. The best-in-class physical security, with fully lockable cabinets, intrusion detection with remote alerting and optional surveillance, protects IT systems and infrastructure from manipulation or theft.

Emerson’s SmartCabinet for branch locations is specifically compatible with and optimized for converged computing systems such as the Dell PowerEdge VRTX. “Dell is excited that Emerson will offer their SmartCabinet line with a version designed especially for deploying and supporting Dell PowerEdge VRTX. We are looking forward to working with Emerson on a solution like SmartCabinet for VRTX that will further improve Dell’s comprehensive solution for remote and branch offices,” said Bill Rodrigues, president, North America and Global 500 Sales, Dell. “Dell and Emerson can work jointly to help customers complete their infrastructure with a rapidly deployable solution.”
