RF Code Signs AIT, Strengthening UK channel
Data Centre and Networking Specialist adds RF Code to provide new value added services around wire-free asset management and environmental monitoring
AUSTIN, TX (April 5, 2011) —RF Code, a leading provider of active IT asset management and wire-free environmental monitoring solutions, has announced AIT Partnership Group as the latest addition to its certified partner programme, which launched in February. Formed in 2002, AIT Partnership Group provides Data Centre and Wireless Infrastructure services and solutions. AIT has an extensive client base of blue chip and public sector corporations offering a number of complementary products from vendors such as Raritan, Avocent-Emmerson, Eaton and Juniper.
“RF Code sits particularly nicely within our portfolio of products and forms a bridge between our wireless and datacenter management divisions,” explains Brian King, Marketing Manager for AIT. “Asset management in particular is a growing requirement, especially within shared datacenters and we have had strong interest. Until RF Code, however, there were few products designed to meet the difficulties of a dense and complex datacenter environment.”
AIT already offers a data centre audit service, which delivers a detailed report based on the EU Code of Conduct for Best Practice in Data Centres. The report is complete with graphical representations of key findings based on a full physical inspection of server rooms, non-intrusive temperature readings and an assessment of the needs of users, IT and facilities teams. “RF Code’s wireless environmental and asset management technologies can potentially help our clients to improve operational efficiency, reduce costs and better utilise resources,” King adds.
AIT is part of the first group of partners to complete training and certification as part of a push by RF Code into the UK and wider European market. “AIT is well respected in the industry with an extremely complementary product portfolio and we are incredibly pleased that they have joined our channel programme,” explains Adrian Barker, European Sales Director for RF Code.
RF Code is used in all manner of projects from tracking high-value portable equipment like notebooks, medical equipment and even containers within warehousing applications all the way through to servers within racks. The RF Code solution leverages active RFID technology, active hardware and software that can also integrate with both asset management and environmental data collection systems to help with capacity planning, security and energy management processes. Recent data from analyst firm ABI Research indicates that the value of the overall RFID market will pass the $6 billion mark this year.
