Customer
Based in upstate New York, PAETEC offers its customers a comprehensive suite of IP,
voice, data and Internet services, as well as enterprise communications management
software, network security solutions and managed services. They deliver personalized
communications solutions and service to business-class customers in 84 of the
nation’s top 100 metropolitan areas.
Goal
Colocation Equipment Engineering Manager Robert Fuller set out to procure
a standard, cost-effective, visually consistent cabinet solution for the PAETEC
Customer Colocation product expansion. After careful consideration, he chose
Tripp Lite’s SmartRack™ enclosures for facilities in Houston, Milwaukee and Phoenix
because of the product quality, availability and price. As he explained, “Lead time
is not an issue with the Tripp Lite cabinet: we chose cabinets that provide a cost-
effective solution that allows PAETEC to deploy customer applications more quickly
than equivalent vendor cabinets do. As well as being cost-effective, Tripp Lite
racks are very user-friendly. Finally, it is extremely important to be consistent in
the customer colocation environment, and the Tripp Lite cabinets are aesthetically
pleasing.”

Results
Robert Fuller reported that installation and deployment of the new rack enclosures
went very well, “The cabinets are easy to unpack and assemble. PAETEC installation
teams were able to unpack multiple cabinets, assemble the side panel, replace the
solid top panel with the SRFANROOF, install the SRCOMBO and level and attach
the cabinets together in a matter of minutes. The threaded corners at the top of the
cabinet allow for installing a custom application for supporting overhead cable ladder
infrastructure. There is no cabinet modification needed.” He went on to note that
PAETEC is extremely pleased with the overall end result, “The Tripp Lite cabinets
provide a safe and secure location for PAETEC customers to house their critical data
infrastructure. The front and rear perforated doors coupled with the SRFANROOF
provide optimal airow within the cabinet to keep critical equipment cool and operating
in acceptable temperature ranges. Not only are the Tripp Lite cabinets aesthetically
pleasing, but they are extremely functional.”
