Maximum efficiency in a compact space: The future of edge applications

Space-saving data centres with up to four racks

Fast data, fast decision-making: Critical processes demand real-time data processing, whether in production, in interconnected cities or in hospital patient monitoring. By relocating the IT infrastructure on site, you benefit from minimal latency, a high bandwidth and reliable failure resilience.

The RiMatrix Micro Data Center offers preconfigured solutions for compact data centres with up to four racks.
A perfect fit for your requirements – and Rittal is at your side every step of the way, from initial planning until the system is up and running.

What is the RiMatrix Micro Data Center?

The Rittal RiMatrix Micro Data Center is a range of preconfigured, modular edge data centre systems for up to four racks, built for organisations that need real-time, low-latency data processing close to where data is generated. Cooling output scales from 1.6 kW to 53 kW, and passive hybrid cooling delivers up to 30% energy savings at room temperatures up to 25 °C. Indoor, outdoor and high-security variants are available.

Life-saving data, reliably protected

Healthcare

The healthcare sector needs to process patient data immediately and protect it from unauthorised access. RiMatrix Micro Data Centers deliver modular solutions with system-tested protection and maximum availability, even in an emergency situation.

High-performing and high-MTBF solutions for secure banking data

Finance

Blockchain and AI-based analyses are creating new opportunities and business areas. For banking customers, the security and availability of each and every transaction is a top priority. The RiMatrix MDC is suitable for institutions of all sizes.

Rapid responses and KRITIS compliance

Government

E-government and smart cities form part of the critical infrastructure, which demands the ultimate in protection and availability. Our RiMatrix Micro Data Centers support local data processing and optimise the response capabilities of municipal systems.

Industry 4.0 made easy

Industry

RiMatrix Micro Data Centers process sensor data in real time, control machines in situ, and protect IT systems from heat and dust. Their modular solutions help to optimise operations, minimise downtime and create maximum flexibility.

Smooth communications in connected cars

Mobility

Driverless cars are rolling data centres. Smart sensors are busy collating vast quantities of data around the clock, which must be processed in real time. The RiMatrix Micro Data Center offers powerful on-board IT with minimal latency.

Transparency for food safety and confidence

The food sector

In food production, sensors log ambient parameters and automation systems react at lightning speed. RiMatrix Micro Data Centers process data in real time to ensure that risks are promptly identified and traceability is guaranteed.

The Micro Data Center from Rittal enabled us to use the proposed location, saving considerable time, energy and expense.

Special situations call for special solutions

Housing- und Outdoor-Solutions

Real-time data, whatever the location

Housed in robust outdoor enclosures, RiMatrix Micro Data Centers are positioned at the precise location where data is generated, even if that is outdoors. Eliminating the need to divert via central data centres, they process data in real time, keep latencies to a minimum, and ensure a consistently high bandwidth. Even data-intensive applications run smoothly, perfectly protected from the weather and external threats. This makes them ideal for use in challenging applications such as Industry 4.0, driverless vehicles and smart cities, where reliability and speed are crucial.
