What are Server Racks Used For?

Server Racks are metal structures that are designed to contain critical IT infrastructure including computer servers, uninterruptible power supply, cooling equipment, patch panels, switches, routers, and hubs. Typically, server racks, or network cabinets, are found in massive colocation to small edge data centers and network closets for IT managers to access on-site. The main benefits of these racks include protection of equipment, organization for infrastructure, cable management, security, and productive cooling.

Why is a Server Rack Important?

Server racks remain the backbone of edge computing deployments. IT teams are utilizing network cabinets in different ways as critical infrastructure changes and evolves. High density servers are pushing the limits on facility power and selecting a rack with proper airflow and cable routing could mean extending the life of mission critical equipment.

Selecting a Server Rack

All racks aren’t created equal. There are several items you should consider before purchasing. In addition to ensuring the server rack will fit within your space and overall budget, here are a few other features to consider.

USABLE SPACE

As you are looking to deploy a new rack, you should consider how much usable space is available within the rack for reasons like cable management or airflow for equipment.

CONFIGURATION AND FLEXIBILITY

Ensure that the rack you are selecting can adapt as your business does. With a tool-less design, it is easy to configure the rack and adjust as density or equipment changes over time.

 

 

RACK DENSITY

Consider how much equipment will be going in the rack, and account for additional space for backup power, remote management devices, and other IT infrastructure. You will want to find a balance of required equipment today and plan for expansion in the future. Your rack(s) should be able to support future growth.

DELIVERABILITY

Whether you are needing a rack to deliver in one week or in a few months, select a vendor that has the capabilities to do both. This will empower you to have flexibility in your Edge deployments based on your business requirements.
