The Vision<br />
that has Connected Us<br />
for Almost 60 Years<br />
050.7360<br />
Dear Business Partners<br />
Enabling communication through optimal<br />
network infrastructures – that was already<br />
the aim of Hans Reichle and Renato De-Massari<br />
when they developed a revolutionary<br />
telephone outlet almost 60 years ago. Our<br />
mission is still the same, but when it comes to<br />
technology everything has changed.<br />
Today, we are amazed that artificial intelligence<br />
(AI) can, for example, paint pictures,<br />
write essays and diagnose medical conditions.<br />
Machines now perform the brainwork that<br />
was previously considered a human domain.<br />
However, these high-performance computers<br />
only run if their network infrastructures can<br />
be relied upon. No AI without connectivity.<br />
Megatrends such as AI are also driving the<br />
boom in data centers. If you want to hold<br />
your own in this market, you have to be able<br />
to move at a fast pace: Latencies and data<br />
transfer rates are constantly accelerating.<br />
At the same time, data centers should be<br />
improving their energy efficiency and working<br />
trouble-free at all times. In our FOCUS story,<br />
we take you on a journey through time in the<br />
data center and show you how we can help<br />
you plan and operate.<br />
With our complete portfolio for data center<br />
infrastructures, we have also specialized<br />
in continuously improving efficiency and<br />
security. With the BladeShelter T7 PLUS<br />
rack system, for example, which has a static<br />
load-bearing capacity of 1,800 kg and separates<br />
the flow of hot and cold air, power<br />
consumption is noticeably reduced. And the<br />
smart ActiPower 4.0 Power Distribution Unit<br />
(PDU) can monitor environmental parameters<br />
such as energy consumption, temperature,<br />
humidity and access security.<br />
Staying on the ball<br />
The further modernization of our product<br />
range and our own infrastructures has traditionally<br />
been a very high priority at R&M. This<br />
is why, whenever possible, we report at an<br />
early stage on the innovations of tomorrow,<br />
their implementation in our solutions and<br />
our modernization efforts. You will also find<br />
relevant articles in this latest issue of our<br />
specialist magazine <strong>CONNECTIONS</strong>.<br />
As a full-range provider as well as a provider<br />
of individual, custom-made solutions and<br />
with many market organizations and plants<br />
around the world, we are always close to<br />
our valued customers – in order to optimize<br />
network infrastructures together.<br />
We wish you an inspiring read.<br />
Robert Merki, CTO<br />
«We provide network infrastructure<br />
for unlimited communication.»<br />
