RimatriX5:
For all aspects of your IT performance
The most important factor of any IT performance
is security, and the second-most important is cost-
effectiveness. The fact that requirements in both
areas are rising – security on the one hand, and cost-
effectiveness on the other – may initially appear to
be a contradiction in terms. This is not the case with
Rittal RimatriX5. Here, the two factors are perfectly
balanced: the result is known as efficiency.
Systematic solutions:
RimatriX5 offers outstanding IT performance – holistic,
efficient and scalable.
Systematic success:
Maximum availability coupled with cost efficiency. For
the maximum possible benefits throughout all sectors
of the company.

Impressively positive:
Total Benefit of Usership
An investment needs to pay off in the long term. Consequently, the formula for the most cost-effective calculation is as follows:
The only inexpensive investment is one which is worth its price, both at the time of purchase and in the longer term, i.e. over
its entire operating cycle. Put another way, something which may look like a bargain at first glance can conceal hidden costs.
Unfortunately, these do not only become apparent in permanent operation. This is why Rittal recommends considering all the
costs and what you will get in return.
Rittal not only considers the “Total Cost of Ownership – TCO”. We take things further – instead of TCO, we speak of TBU –
Total Benefit of Usership. TBU takes into account the benefits arising from usership of the product. You are on the right track
with RimatriX5.

TS 8: Flexible
use, optimum
design.
To a large extent, the performance of any IT infrastructure is reliant upon interaction between
individual components. With Rittal server racks, you have a system platform in which the climate
control, power and security solutions are perfectly coordinated with one another, and the existing
space optimised.
The performance per IT rack is significantly increased, and the fixed costs are permanently reduced.
Rittal RimatriX5 aims to maximise the efficient use of space. The IT racks may be flexibly arranged, have
a positive influence on TCO, and help to cut the on-going operating costs per rack. The heart is the TS 8
system platform, proven a million times over. The stable frame structure of the TS 8 facilitates simple,
versatile installation with a high packaging density for servers, storage, switching etc.
Rittal RimatriX5 13
Greater freedom,
greater flexibility, greater reliability
Frame section
The symmetrical design ensures an absolute maximum of useful rack volume and
permits scalable baying options for optimised space utilisation in all planes.
Interior installation
Extremely stable – thanks to the 2-layer principle of the TS 8 section, the rack may
be configured with complete flexibility in the interior, with a carrying capacity of
1000 kg within the 482.6 mm (19˝) configuration. Depth-variable 482.6 mm (19˝)
mounting angles permit the individual configuration of heterogeneous server
architectures.
Surface protection
Innovative technologies, right down to the tiniest detail: The nanoceramic coating
is a new, important component in the field of surface protection, which effects a
high level of corrosion protection when supplemented by electrophoretic dipcoat-
priming and textured powder coating.

technology.
Interruptions to critical business processes, whether due to hardware faults, production breakdowns,
communications failures or insufficient – or even non-existent – protection against voltage fluctua-
tions, can have far reaching consequences. After all, system availability and the reliability of the
IT infrastructure are decisive factors for the efficiency and productivity of company processes – and
business success.
The miniaturisation and rising performance of hardware components places particular requirements on
modern energy management. The answer to this dilemma: Power management with RimatriX5.
The demands with regard to redundancy, scalability and maximum availability are bundled into a single sys-
tem. Together, the solutions help to reduce operating costs and boost the availability of the overall system. It
is even possible to retrofit new modules without interrupting operation. Particularly effective: the “N+1” tech-
nology, which ensures optimum redundancy and enhances availability. The Power Modular concept PMC with
the innovative decentralised parallel architecture (DPA) offers maximum availability with an outstanding level
of efficiency.

Rittal CMC-TC
The defined availability of their IT services is, for most companies, the decisive prerequisite for
reliable and properly controlled business processes. This security of the physical IT infrastructure
begins with each single rack.
The Computer Multi Control Top-Concept (CMC-TC) from Rittal is a complete security management for
preventive protection to guard against consequential costs, and is the central organisational unit for linking
to the facility management.
● Fault and alarm messages are sent to defined service or security management systems. Data exchange
via bus systems and integration into LAN and building management configurations provide for the
transparency of all security-relevant data.
● The modular concept permits tailoring to individual requirements, while automatic sensor detection
enables plug & play expansion or 2.4 GHz wireless technology.
Through its incorporation of various preventive aspects, along with the options for integration into central
facility management systems, CMC-TC advances to become the central point of information in the data
centre.

You can do it with
Rittal RimatriX.
RimatriX5: Comprehensive service – high level of efficiency. Even if the task is not a simple one, the path
to finding a solution need not be complex. At least, not if you are with Rittal from the outset. True, the integra-
tion of an individual rack is much more manageable than the development of a complex installation concept
for an entire IT centre. However, whether you are after a major contract or an individual solution, Rittal
approaches every task with the same high level of concentration. As far as our customers are concerned, we
take care of everything so that you have peace of mind. We “get” highly complex structures through the
trained eyes of a systems architect. We are adept at networked thinking and precision actions.
Step by step to the right solution. Generally speaking, we divide the entire process – the route from analy-
sis to solution – into three phases: The quotation phase, the implementation phase, and the maintenance
phase. The initial stages in phase 1 involve ascertaining the customer’s requirements, selecting a solution,
visualisation of the solution, calculation, construction meeting, more detailed specification of requirements,
and planning. In phase 2 we accompany you through to your ultimate goal. This stage is characterised by
installation, implementation and logistics. In phase 3, you have the option of agreeing a range of mainte-
nance and service packages with us.
The single thread that unites all these phases is service. From presales, to sales, through to post-
sales, we tailor the ideal package of services to suit every module.

Professional RimatriX5 project management
from the word go

solutions in the technical sense. We also offer a comprehensive service in every sense of the word. This service
is a fixed component of the RimatriX5 “All-round worry-free package”. For us, the holistic idea is a concept for both
system and service; a fully integrated model which Rittal has developed to perfection with RimatriX5.
We take care of the details to put you ahead of the game.
