Built for performance, not just placement

Racks in data centre environments are often selected based on dimensions, footprint and load rating. But as power densities increase, cooling strategies evolve, and cable volumes continue to grow, the rack has become much more than a frame for housing equipment.

Today's rack sits at the intersection of power, cooling, cabling and human interaction. It influences airflow behaviour, determines how easily equipment can be installed and maintained, and plays a critical role in supporting future expansion. A rack that looks suitable on paper can quickly become an operational constraint if access, cable management, thermal performance and serviceability have not been properly considered.

Our latest whitepaper explores why racks should be specified as infrastructure platforms rather than commodity items, offering practical guidance for consultants, integrators and operators looking to improve long-term performance, resilience and operational efficiency.

Discover:

  • Why the rack can no longer be treated as "furniture"
  • The difference between physical, usable and access capacity
  • How rack selection impacts power delivery, cooling performance and equipment lifespan
  • Why specifying for the equipment - not the floor plan - can reduce future risk
  • The role of airflow management, cable routing and access in maintaining operational efficiency
  • Key considerations for designing for change, future growth and higher-density deployments
  • A practical rack specification checklist
