Rack Mounting
Many data centers historically didn't put much more thought into their
deployment of server racks beyond basic functionality, air flow, and the upfront
costs of the rack itself. These days, the widespread adoption of hi-density
applications are causing major hot spots concerns and capacity issues. These
factors along with the high costs of energy require a sound understanding of
how closely tied your server rack deployment is to overall server room and data
center efficiency strategy.
The server enclosure is a staple of the data center. Despite many different
monikers and manufacturers, the makeup of a server enclosure remains consistent:
folded and welded steel, configured to secure servers, switches, and
connectivity- the lifeblood of any on-demand organization. The enclosure comes
in a variety of dimensions (height x width x depth) and is often
customizable to a user's individual needs with provisions for cable management
and PDU installation.
At the simplest level, the server enclosure is a well-engineered box. Yet
that description doesn't do it justice. Perhaps no accessory in the data center
is more numerous or important because of the equipment it holds and the data it
safeguards. Though it consumes no electricity and contains no moving parts, the
enclosure orientation has a significant impact on a data center's ability to
become an energy efficient enterprise.
