Anixter's Data Center Infrastructure Resource Guide Available


GLENVIEW, Ill., March 26: Anixter Inc. (NYSE:AXE), the world's leading distributor of communication products, electrical and electronic wire & cable and a leading distributor of fasteners and other small parts ("C" Class inventory components) to Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), is announcing the release of their Data Center Infrastructure Resource Guide.

Anixter continues to be the market leader in providing guidance to customers regarding their data center infrastructure needs. The new Data Center Infrastructure Resource Guide is one of several technical Anixter resources that provides a 60+ page descriptive overview of the current standards and solutions used in today's data centers. This guide offers strategies and best practices for designing, managing and deploying a data center, as well as an overview of the ANSI/TIA/EIA-942 data center standard. It also touches on the concept of green buildings as it relates to data centers, and walks readers through how to successfully deploy a data center solution at their company.

The Data Center Infrastructure Resource Guide provides helpful solutions and guidelines when considering reliability, availability and efficiency in a data center. An overview of the ANSI/TIA/EIA-942 standard includes a comprehensive explanation of guidelines created to help designers plan the facility, the network and the cabling system. The standard emphasizes the benefits of gathering requirements from all concerned parties - facilities, real estate, IT and corporate business units. Up to now, there has been no single available resource guide to pull all of this information together in to one, reliable desktop resource.

"The Data Center Infrastructure Resource Guide is a great tool for anyone who wants to reconstruct or deploy a modern, standards-based data center infrastructure. It condenses in one guide all of the leading-edge current thinking regarding best practices in data center design and deployment. The guide is a great complement to our very popular Data Center College which is available for all of our interested customers." - Randy Mortensen, VP Marketing.
