With the Belgacom Matrix Cube we bring operational excellence to your premises.
How does it work?
The Belgacom Matrix Cube is a unique datacenter solution. It offers a standardized middle-sized on-premise solution, based on a modular concept. The solution is easily scalable. Besides, it offers you the possibility to host new generation servers, thanks to the high density possibilities. As your business grows, the Belgacom Matrix Cube grows along, from 2 to 12 racks. The choice in redundancy is equally easy to make. Power redundancy is standard, but the Belgacom Matrix Cube also offers the possibility to add a second power redundancy. Standard the solution is equipped with cooling redundancy and if required you can choose for extra redundancy.
The Belgacom Matrix Cube offers a turnkey solution, as its price includes the datacenter, the installation, the racks, the cold corridor, the electrical distribution panel, the PDUs (Power Distribution Unit), the UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply) and pre-cabling for connectivity. As it is a complete solution, the datacenter comes with 24/7 active remote monitoring by Belgacom. The Belgacom Matrix Cube concept fits in any existing or new room due to the 4 standard cooling concepts. And in case the standard offer doesn't meet your specific needs, we have a complete team of specialists that are ready to design a custom made solution for your power, cooling or monitoring demands.
The Belgacom Matrix Cube is also a green datacenter solution. It offers high density capabilities (currently 4 KW/rack, to be expanded to 6 and 8 KW/rack) and a PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness) value that is equal or lower than 1.3, guaranteed by Belgacom's SLA (at 4KW/rack). The PUE is remotely measured, monitored and diagnosed 24/7. This results in a datacenter solution with the lowest possible operational cost combined with the advantages of an on-site datacenter facility.
