Preparing For Online Retail Shift During Holidays

Preparing for the Online Retail Shift During the Holidays

Whether you’re ready or not, there are Christmas decorations already up in many retail stores, and Black Friday emails will be hitting your inbox before the turkey is cut. Holiday shopping in a COVID-19 world will look different this year, and while there may not be the festivity of waiting in an hour-long line outside your favorite retailer, there probably will be the comfort of shopping from your device in flannel pajamas.

For the consumer, this shift in holiday purchasing may bring more simplicity to the season but for the retailer, now is the time to make sure the infrastructure stabilizing that customer experience is up-to-date and ready for Black Friday crowds.

Regardless of the size of the area reserved for network infrastructure equipment, Vertiv has the necessary cutting-edge equipment to meet the demands of a very busy virtual Holiday shopping season.

UPS Solution

The newly-introduced Vertiv GXT5 UPS is the latest generation of online double-conversion UPS solutions. It is available in either rack or tower configurations, and it’s ideal for both centralized and edge network applications.

Self-Contained Rack Enclosure

Square footage is at a premium in retail spaces. Fortunately though, the Vertiv MCR Mini Computer Room Enclosure is high on performance and low on footprint.  This compact, yet robust system offers a computer-grade air conditioner at the bottom of the enclosure, with the option of adding an additional air conditioner above, depending on the load size.

The internal enclosure space is large enough for an on-line or line-interactive UPS system, adjustable racks and rack rails allow for maximum flexibility and multiple types of equipment. The MCR is a completely sealed system, protecting the cooling environment and equipment inside.

The MCR is a ready-to-install system that can house all the network infrastructure equipment in a compact and organized offering.

Vertiv Environet Alert monitoring software ensures continuity of power and cooling for your critical infrastructure. Real-time alert functionality, customizable data views, and streamlined integration with multiple devices and business systems make Environet Alert a plug-and-play platform that supports networks of all types and scales.
