Small Server Racks

A rack server is identified by the number of units it occupies within a standard server rack. A 1U server occupies one unit, or a space roughly 1.75 inches high. A 2U server occupies twice as much space or approximately 3.5 inches in height. A 4U server is twice again as large as a 2U device.

As businesses invest in servers, storage and space challenges arise. Small server racks offer significant benefits to IT teams who are tasked with ensuring availability and performance while working with constrained spaces and even budgets.

Space-saving density
Rack servers offer a remarkable amount of performance per cubic inch of space. A small server rack is an ideal compute and storage solution for organizations that have limited space. If your business has more than one rack server or plans on adding to an existing one, a server rack is ideal. A small server rack stacks the hardware on top of the other, helping you save valuable office space.

Optimized airflow
A server rack can help increase performance by optimizing airflow around the equipment, helping prevent overheating.

Flexible installation
A small server rack can be mounted to a wall, positioned on a table or shelf, hidden beneath the desk or stationed on the floor of the data center.

Efficient scalability
With a small server rack, IT teams can easily add additional servers as the computing requirements of the business expand.

Easy maintenance
The efficient design of a small server rack makes it easy to keep the equipment and cabling organized and maintained. This helps provide IT teams easy access for maintenance purposes

Added security
Server technology housed within a locked rack can be more easily protected from unauthorized access and human error.
