The biggest and most significant component of your network system are servers. From a technical perspective, you can line up the servers on a big table and they’ll work perfectly, but if you want and intend to get the maximum out of your servers, we recommend server racks. A server rack or rack mount server is a standard size server utilized for inside mounting a data center server cabinet or rack frame infrastructure. Server racks Australia are usually available in 1U, 2U and 4U sizes (1U rack server is a short form of 1 unit). The standard rack mount cabinet is 42U in height. Setting up your servers in a server rack will help you increase the server performance, ease the maintenance process and increase security.

Here are three major benefits of using server racks:

Increase Performance

If you want to have good server performance, you must provide proper airflow. If there is anything that interrupts the good airflow, you are risking of overheating the servers, even if you keep your servers on a table. If you want to avoid the airflow problem, invest in quality server racks. They come in different size and design and are made of quality and durable material. Furthermore, server racks are designed to maximize the airflow and if this is important for you, invest in a server rack that has a cooling system. Server racks are customizable, so you can remove the empty shelves and cover with blanking panels in order to increase the airflow.

Increase Security

Server racks use locked panels to keep uninvited and unwanted people out. Nowadays, there are numerous server cabinet models that come with different locking systems. Look online for the ones with best customer rating.

Easy To Maintain

Server racks are easy to maintain because everything is where it’s supposed to be. Most server racks are equipped with wheels and shelves that easily slide out, making it easier to access the server and maintain it. In case something happens with your servers, it is easier to access and resolve the problem when it is on a server rack.
