Technology Innovator Awards 2021

Apr21868 Best Industrial & Data Center Solutions Provider - USA As a widely accredited and hugely trusted company in the world of IT enclosures and accessories, Rittal North America – and indeed, Rittal DmbH as a global corporation – has made itself an invaluable part of the industry’s infrastructure. Optimising support to the highest levels of resilience and making itself a business partner to its clients, it works with heightened diligence and efficiency in everything it does. The U.S. based subsidiary of Rittal DmbH & Co KG, Rittal Corporation, is part of the largest manufacturer of enclosures and accessories, incorporating climate control and power management into products for industrial data centres, outdoor servers, and hybrid applications. Started in 1961 and rebranding to the company as it stands today in 1969, it was founded on the principle of ‘enclosures off the shelf, immediately’. Fundamentally, this kickstarted a rich and storied business enterprise, and Rittal quickly became a champion of a new global standard of enclosure – an accolade it still holds to this day. Its products have been recognised on a global scale for efficacy and excellence, including modified standard and custom-engineered products that have gained notoriety for high quality both on and off of the plant floor. Furthermore, it is a sector agnostic answer to enclosures. No matter the industry or complexity of the equipment and applications, Rittal’s work will be able to fit seamlessly into it; its vast amounts of offerings interact well both with each other and with the components they protect. The enclosures make use of accessory options and power distribution that also makes them highly efficient to run, allowing whatever the client uses them to protect to function effectively in any environment, even in significantly challenging ones. In short, Rittel has worked hard to make itself the company supporting the widest range of end users in the global enterprise IT community – from customers to colocation, managed service providers, public agencies, and the emerging Edge market. Additionally, Rittal products are tested and certified across UL, CSA, IEC, and ATEX standards. First and foremost, the mission upheld by Rittal across all of its considerable operations is one of engineering and manufacturing completely full-range, highly modular enclosures and IT infrastructure components. This is a goal that has become mission critical to its industry. With more complex IT technologies and systems being produced across the globe, the businesses investing in these systems are becoming an increasingly demanding market that requires ever-more intricate solutions. Rittal’s people, products, and processes therefore all take this very seriously, dedicated to exemplary work and outstanding customer service. Rittal also takes great pride in being able to provide the ‘best in class’ products across a global platform with an emphasis on flexibility. When new cycles of technological innovation crop up, Rittal is always at the head of the curve, ensuring to keep itself heavily competitive by looking ahead to the needs of not just the current IT deployment, but the one after that. For instance – space, power, and cooling are now not the only variables worth concern. Currently, physical and cybersecurity challenges to the IT industry are proving tough hurdles to jump across the board, threatening the security, reliability, and accessibility of information on a global scale. Moreover, Covid-19 has made for necessary pivots and adaptations across the board as more companies than ever scramble to make their businesses able to function totally remotely. In this way, and many others, Rittal has been keen to step up and help companies with the constant challenge of keeping up with the changing demands of end users – it wishes to work in tandem with its customers, helping them to identify, prioritise, and solve their installation parameters effectively. It is also important to note that even throughout these big changes, Rittal will pay attention to the small things. Landmark changes are one side of the coin, but in a dynamic global environment, the small developments that are somewhat insular are important too, especially within certain industries that must respond quickly. Crucially, Rittal promises it will learn from these as much as it does the macro scale challenges. It also knows that for many of its customers around the globe, it is pivotal to be careful of a highly changeable physical environment that could potentially be prone to extreme risks – hurricanes, storms, earthquakes, and the like – in such cases, it helps with the provision of enclosures designed with this in mind. Working from ‘hyper local to hyper scale’, its first priority will always be its customers. With the impressive capabilities and the impeccable team focus of its staff, it has cultivated an impeccable internal culture that it can project outwards towards clients. This is empowered by its recognition of skills and knowledge development, as it applauds the existing talent of its staff whilst encouraging them always down paths of personal and professional growth, offering them the courses, training, and resources to be able to do so. Additionally, each member of staff at Rittal is an excellent problem solver. They are people who view their customers as partners to the business, determined to help in every way possible in order to attain mutual success and betterment, always keen to hear from clients in feedback or reviews – Rittal has a company-wide core belief that its customers are what will shape its future, and thus its products and services are continuously worked on so they can better suit the needs of the market. As a result, it keeps the pressure on itself to consistently prove why it is worth its client’s time and money. This dedication to remaining staunchly competitive and actively beneficial to its clients’ business pushes it towards further inspiration and creativity, with a drive towards perfect mastery of daily business and a committed attitude towards long term and meaningful relationships with its clients and suppliers both. Rittal takes nothing about its position for granted. Its strategic outlook on its business, forged by quality, impeccable service delivery, and co-operative problem solving, have each contributed to it cementing itself as an invaluable part of the IT global network. It is also keenly aware of the responsibility that comes hand in hand with being an enterprise level, highly lucrative business. Importantly, Rittal sees itself as having an unshakable duty to both the environment and society. By empowering systems across the globe and working to improve the technological environments of businesses, it gives the modern world a shot in the arm that will encourage further international success stories – and it is glad that it can make itself a part of those. Thus, in the future it will be funnelling further effort into doing this by integrating into the world of IoT, as well as IIoT and Edge.
