Cannon Launches ‘Data Center In A Box’ for Schools
Cannon T4 Inc has released a complete data center in a box for schools and colleges. The Mini Data Center range is a self-contained data center in a single enclosed rack or cabinet that can be sited in a corridor, closet, or externally in a car park or yard.
“Childrens' lives revolve around IT. At home with PCs, gaming consoles, and smart phones; and also in the classroom with big screen multi-media displays, electronic whiteboards, and increasingly ‘per-student’ PCs and iPads,” said Michael Varcoe, director for the Americas, Cannon T4. Varcoe further explained that to deliver the content of all of this requires each school and college to have the full functionality of a small data center. But a serious problem in many schools is the lack of space for the data center and of the skills and resources to manage and maintain one.
