For 25 years, Great Lakes Case & Cabinet Co., Inc. has been helping customers in the development of solutions for the mounting, protection, powering and cooling of electrical, information technology and communication equipment. We know that every situation is different and from the smallest of closets to the largest of data centers to the most hazardous data environments, customers often find that standard products sometimes don’t really meet their needs. For some suppliers, their catalog is the end of the road. At Great Lakes, our extensive product offering is simply a starting point.Whether you’re in need of custom sizing, color, configuration, rail placement, cable management, installation of customer supplied components, in house stocking or a myriad of other considerations, our answer will be “Yes”. With our state of the art engineering, manufacturing and distribution capabilities, Great Lakes has the ability to meet and exceed your expectation, often at a price which is less than our competition’s prices for their standard product. Don’t worry about how you’ll be forced to fit or modify someone elses product to meet your needs. Call our Technical Service team at 1-866 TRY-GLCC (1-866-879-4522) and find out how Great Lakes can get you what you need, exactly the way you want it!We’ve created tens of thousands of custom designed products.

November 2, 2009 One of the things which makes Great Lakes “Great” is our ability to respond to the needs of our customers when they want to try something unique in a design or when they have a special requirement. As you know, we install Great Lakes’ accessories when and where desired, prior to shipping at no additional charge. Sometimes a customer wants (or needs) additional support beyond that level and we can help. |

SEPTEMBER 14, 2009 In this project, we are looking at a data center that is located in an old mine. Cold air is being forced down from above the cabinets and the goal is to contain it in the front of an aisle created by two rows of cabinets. The cold air will sink into the containment area and the hot air will then be removed from the cabinets via the exhaust chimneys. |
