Vertiv™ VRC-S Edge-Ready Micro Data Centre System
Vertiv™ VRC-S
Deploy a Comprehensive Edge Micro Data Centre Solution in Days
Vertiv VRC-S is a micro data centre solution, fully assembled at the factory and designed specifically for IT edge applications. Available in various configurations, the Vertiv VRC-S is delivered in days and installed in hours. Choose from four different cabinet sizes with two separate cooling methods (split and selfcontained) with back-up, and the option to integrate a UPS. Plus, an intelligent switched PDU, including monitoring of all components, and a comprehensive software package completes the offer.
You have everything you need to rapidly upgrade any space with a micro data centre to host IT edge equipment. With space to support your IT equipment and up to 3.5kW of integrated IT cooling, around a single phase 16A connection, the Vertiv VRC-S lets you quickly, easily, and confidently put IT wherever you need it.
Piecing together the various components of an IT solution, for your edge applications, can be a major challenge for today’s busy IT managers. From specifying the right components, to waiting for a custom solution to be built, or integrating the appropriate cooling, UPS, PDU, and monitoring, the process consumes time and resources that you don’t always have to spare.
The new Vertiv VRC-S takes the legwork and wait time out of the equation. It offers a factory-integrated, micro data centre solution that ships in days and can be installed within hours. You get a plug-and-play IT solution that reliably and efficiently satisfies your edge IT requirements, and comes with the added peace of mind of a three-year warranty, covering every component of the system.

Your Benefits Form Vertiv™ VRC-S
- “Plug and Play”The Vertiv™ VRC-S is a “plug and play”factory assembled micro data centre, shipped within days, and deployed within hours. The project planning costs are minimised because all components are integrated and matched to each other. Power and network must be connected and, if necessary, cooling integrated into the building or the pre-filled outdoor condenser needs to be installed. Once installed, operations can begin, thus greatly reducing installation costs.
- Highest availabilityFor unsurpassed reliability and maximum lifetime of your IT equipment, only the best industry-standard components have been selected for the Vertiv VRC-S. All of these components are harmonised with each other and provide the IT asset with the best conditions for uninterrupted operation. The UPS powers the cooling system and the IT assets without interruption during a utility power outage. In case of cooling system loss, integrated back-up ventilation enables operation without interruption.
- Low operational costVertiv VRC-S is designed to have the lowest possible operating costs. By using speed-controlled fans and a compressor, the Vertiv VRC cooling unit adapts the cooling to the actual IT heat dissipation and thus consumes only as much energy as necessary. The Energy Star 2.0 certified UPS uses the highest possible power factor, depending on the mode, reducing electricity costs.
- Remote monitoring and controlReliable and well-designed remote monitoring and control are crucial for the operation of edge applications in remote locations without IT staff on site. The Vertiv™ Intelligence Director provides access to all Vertiv VRC-S networked components, Vertiv™ VRC cooling, UPS, and PDU under one IP address and supports all common network protocols. The PDU can be switched and monitored per output, making it easy to control the application remotely. It is possible to integrate the Vertiv VRC-S application with Vertiv™ Environet™ Alert software into a data centre infrastructure management system (DCIM).
- 3-year warranty across the entireVertiv VRC-S system Get an extension of factory warranty coverage beyond the original factory warranty term registering your product at Vertiv Website https://www.vertiv.com/ en emea/support/register-your-product/ registration/. The product registration extends factory warranty to a total of 3 years on the entire VRC-S system. With this 3-year warranty on the entire system, Vertiv gives its promise of quality.
