A compact cabinet measuring just 60 cm wide and 1.2 metres high and weighing just 145 kg is also being introduced to house the new power modules, enabling smaller applications with limited space to enjoy the same performance, flexibility and efficiency benefits that modular UPS systems already provide high-end data centres with. The new cabinet can house up to five of the 2U modules, offering power ranges of 15-60 kW N+1 (for the 15 kW modules) and 25-100 kW N+1 (for the 25 kW modules). A maximum of four cabinets can run in parallel to increase capacity to 240 kW N+1 (for the 15 kW modules) and 400 kW N+1 (for the 25 kW modules). Up to seven larger 42 kW power modules can be installed in a standard Multi Power cabinet, offering total capacity of 252 kW N+1 in a single frame. As with the new compact chassis, up to four cabinets can be paralleled together, delivering a maximum power rating of 1,008 kW N+1 in a single system. Space-saving combination cabinets containing both power modules and battery shelves are also available for applications needing to balance high power density with a limited footprint. www.riello-ups.co.uk StarLeaf improves flexibility and control for customers StarLeaf has introduced a variety of new products, features and upgrades. Key updates include a brand new Microsoft Teams integration, which seamlessly combines StarLeaf video meetings with the advanced collaboration features of Microsoft Teams. Also new is StarLeaf MultiJoin, which allows users to join meetings instantly at the touch of a button, from any StarLeaf room, without the need for complex dial-in-codes. StarLeaf MultiJoin makes it easier for users to connect and collaborate in an instant. StarLeaf has also introduced Guest Join and Meet Now, making it easier to meet with anyone through StarLeaf. StarLeaf rooms, which turn any meeting space into a video conferencing suite, have an upgraded user experience, with new onscreen prompts and guides, plus the ability to customise screens with wallpaper. Other wider improvements include improved audio and video quality, offering support for higher bandwidth, and the introduction of customisable calendar invites. The company has also announced StarLeaf Huddle, an all-in-one video meeting room solution designed to deliver the best user experience for video meetings in smaller spaces, is now available for pre-order. www.starleaf.com Easy-to-deploy IoT applications Thales, Telstra, Microsoft and Arduino have teamed up to work on a solution that addresses the challenge of securely and efficiently connecting IoT devices to clouds in the most simplified way and through cellular networks. The level of trust required is enabled by a sophisticated ‘security- by-design’ approach for any IoT devices based on field-proven and standardised SIM or eSIM technology. As a result, as soon as an IoT device is switched on, any SIM or eSIM featuring Thales’s IoT SAFE application is automatically and securely provisioned. Once the IoT device gets a proper Digital Certificate created and stored in the SIM/ eSIM, then a trusted communication between the device and the server is permitted, in full respect of data integrity and confidentiality. thalesgroup.com New standard in monochrome Xerox says its new PrimeLink B9100 Series mono multifunction printer is the first MFP designed to meet the productivity demands of the connected workforce. Flexible and scalable, the PrimeLink B Series can fit in a small franchise print shop or expand to include a wide range of professional feeding and finishing options to meet the needs of any in-plant print environment. It offers best in class image quality across a broad range of media, including heavier stock and long sheet capability enabling new print applications. The Series will boost productivity with access to the Xerox App Gallery, hosting 80+ ConnectKey Apps that automate labour-intensive processes, integrate workflows and connect to key business systems, whether in education, legal, government, healthcare or other industries. www.xerox.com NEC enhances open and modular approach NEC Display Solutions Europe has reinforced its open modular intelligence concept, which leverages diverse computing hardware technologies with scalable performance levels by releasing the NEC Open Modular Platform, crafted from a strategic partnership with signageOS. The NEC Open Modular Platform enables the strengthening of existing partnerships and the creation of new business opportunities for partners. It does this by providing additional flexibility to easily integrate with any supported hardware or software from the NEC digital signage ecosystem. By teaming up with signageOS, NEC takes the open modular approach to the next level and offers a joint solution tailored specifically for the Raspberry Pi Compute Module, yet also provides upgrade paths to OPS and SDM for more demanding applications. www.nec-display-solutions.com ...continued
