Case Study
Malaysia’s Leading State University Chooses Vertiv Micro Data Centre for IT Upgrade
This case study details how Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (UPSI) modernized its data center to support a student population exceeding 24,000. The university’s legacy data center struggled with overheating, outages, limited space, and lack of remote monitoring. Vertiv, working with its partner, implemented the Vertiv™ SmartAisle 2 micro data center solution, integrating power, cooling, UPS, fire suppression, security, and monitoring in a modular design. The Tier IV-compliant system enabled rapid deployment, improved reliability, and real-time infrastructure visibility without on-site staffing. The upgrade reduced deployment time and costs while supporting future scalability, digital transformation, and even potential revenue generation through data center space leasing.
