When choosing a rack or cabinet enclosure, one important factor to consider is knowing your server rack cooling strategy. The type of rack you choose will depend on the cooling methods used in your environment. Another point to consider would be selecting an appropriately-sized rack. When selecting a rack, you want to be sure it has sufficient internal space to house your current equipment and ensure that you have ample space to accommodate planned future expansion.

Provide organization and security for critical equipment
Server racks have sturdy steel frames and locking cabinets to secure and organize up to 3,000 lbs. of 19-inch rack equipment. They provide safe homes for servers, storage, network hardware and all the indispensable devices that keep your network efficient and productive.

Deliver efficient cooling
Most network racks feature front-to-rear airflow that supports efficient hot-aisle/cold-aisle configurations and exceed server manufacturer requirements to keep equipment operating reliably. Roof and panel fans are also available to optimize cooling efficiency.

Support diverse applications
Many server rack heights, widths, depths and other variations are available, with a wide range of configuration options so support any application.

Making sure your rack fits into your overall security strategy is just as important too. There are several measures you can take to improve the security of the racks and equipment in your data center.Though it consumes no electricity and contains no moving parts, the rack and enclosure orientation has a significant impact on a data center's ability to become an energy efficient enterprise.

How much U space do I need?

The front and back of server racks have either square, round or threaded holes that are used to secure equipment. A "rack unit" or "U space" is 1.75 inches of vertical space on a rack which contains three holes. It's an easy way to measure space taken up by equipment and helps standardize sizing in the industry 

You need to be familiar with how much U space your equipment will take up in order to save money while making sure everything fits. If you end up with too much open space, you might need blanking panels to keep airflow contained. 

We carry a wide compatibility range of racks & cabinets with U heights from 1U to 60U, meaning that there are plenty of options for the home, office or data center:

• Data Center Server Racks
• Co-location Server Cabinet
• Network Cabinets
• Wall Mount Enclosures
• Open Frame Racks, Wall Mount Brackets
• Server Rack Accessories

How much depth does my rack need?

Depth is just as important as U space because not having enough room means that you might be returning or reselling your server rack. When considering necessary depth, you will need to not only find the dimensions for your current hardware, but any hardware that you might get in the future. If you don't, your equipment might end up sticking out of the back of your rack. 

AZE's server racks cabinets range from 0-50 inches. The average depth for a server rack is about 36". On top of making sure there is enough depth for your equipment, make sure that any rails or shelves you would like to use are compatible.

What internal and external width do I need?

Most server racks cabinets have a width of 19 or 23 inches in order to keep things consistent. 

External width is relevant to the space that the rack takes up inside of a room. It can extend up to 32 inches to provide space for cable management, power supplies and other accessories. This can be customized more through individual item pages. 

To summarize, check the width of your equipment to determine your internal width and your floor space for the external width.

Why buy an sever rack cabinet?

Most enclosed server racks cabinets are lockable, limiting intentional or accidental tampering with your IT equipment. On top of that, most of the hardware is covered by metal, giving a unified and finished appearance that fits into a professional environment.

Enclosed server racks cabinets don't just sit on the floor, they are also commonly mounted to walls or carried in transport cases. They range from 6U to 52U. Some enclosed server racks cabinets have optional front/back openings, and serve as open frame racks hybrids.

AZE offers single and double lock, PCI DSS compliant server racks. Additionally our Colocation server rack cabinet is available with 3 dial combinations and key locks.

Buying Guides

A Server Racks & Cabinets Buying Guide is a comprehensive resource designed to help customers choose the right server racks, cabinets, and enclosures for their specific needs. It typically covers key factors to consider, product features, and tips for making an informed decision. Here's an outline of what a Server Racks & Cabinets Buying Guide might include:

1. Understand Your Needs

• Application: Determine the primary use (e.g., data center, network closet, colocation, or enterprise IT).

• Equipment: Identify the type and quantity of equipment to be housed (e.g., servers, switches, routers, UPS systems).

• Space: Measure the available space to ensure the rack or cabinet fits comfortably.

2. Types of Server Racks & Cabinets

The floor and wall mount server racks and cabinets organize and secure IT equipment wherever it is located, from high-density data centers to the tightest of spaces at the edge of your network.Compatible designs, tool-less mounting and an extensive line of rack accessories mean easier planning, faster deployments and more efficient maintenance.

• 2-Post Racks: Ideal for lightweight equipment and network hardware.

• 4-Post Racks: Suitable for heavier servers and storage devices.

• Server Cabinets: Enclosed racks with doors and side panels for added security and airflow management.

• Wall-Mount Racks: Perfect for small spaces or network closets.

• Open-Frame Racks: Lightweight and cost-effective for basic setups.

3. Key Features to Consider

• Size & Dimensions:

  • Height: Measured in rack units (U), typically ranging from 6U to 60U.

  • Depth: Ensure the rack can accommodate your equipment (e.g., shallow, standard, or deep).

  • Width: Standard width is 19 inches, but verify compatibility with your devices.

When selecting a server rack, there are some key questions that need to be answered.

What size of rack do you need?

The height of a rack and the height of equipment in it is expressed in "rack units" (a rack unit is 1.75 inches, or 44.45mm). The actual height of a 42U rack is therefore 42 x 1.75 = 73.5 inches. A 2U server would occupy two of the available 42 rack units.

Some racks cabinets come pre-assembled and can be rolled through standard 7-ft. (2.13m) commercial doorways. This allows network equipment to be racked, cabled and rolled into place in a server room for easy installation.

Wall-mount racks offer secure organization for standard 19-inch rack equipment and can support depths up to 36 inches in locations with limited floor space. Most include clear acrylic windows that allow you to monitor equipment without unlocking rack doors.

Open-frame, low-profile and vertical-mount racks are also available to accommodate unique network equipment sizes in locations where security is not a priority and space is limited.

Be sure to make an accurate assessment of the amount of rack space you currently need, and allow for future growth as your network expands.

What is the maximum rack depth required?
Rack depth is dictated by the deepest device you want to install. Determine the maximum rack depth required to mount your equipment in a floor standing or wall mount rack enclosure cabinet.

Floor Standing Rack Depth Designations

Wall Mount Rack Depth Designations

• Load Capacity: Check the weight limit to ensure the rack can support your equipment.

• Ventilation & Cooling: Look for perforated doors, fans, or cooling accessories to prevent overheating.

• Cable Management: Choose racks with built-in cable management features (e.g., cable trays, vertical organizers).

• Security: Consider locking doors, side panels, and keyed access for sensitive environments.

• Mobility: For flexible setups, opt for racks with casters or wheels.

4. Accessories to Enhance Functionality
