Matt Paciorek, group manager, Converged Infrastructure Solutions, comments: "Interaction with our customers is essential to provide them with the high level of flexibility they demand for their data centre cabinets. The FlexFusion cabinet is our answer to their needs. Through in-depth research, our customers have told us that they need a configurable cabinet, which can scale with the demands of the network. Data centre cabinets are increasing in density and storage capacity, which is why we have added additional thermal enhancements and built-in intelligence. We are very excited that the FlexFusion cabinet specifically meets the expectations of the customer.

The FlexFusion bay can be custom-configured using the configurator tool available via the Panduit website.
