Specialy designed to be installed in a framework called a rack, rack servers are stored in a mounting slots called bays and are secured in place with screws. Rack servers have four size options 1U, 2U, 4U and 8U (wichare quite rare).
Unlike tower servers wich are designed to be in an upright standalone cabinet, rackmount servers have a low-profile enclosure. Multiple servers, stacked one above the other, can be sorted in a single rack wich helps to consolidate network resources and minimize the amount of floor space required. This method of storing servers also helps to simplify cabling among the network components.
Benefits of Rack Servers and what they're used for
Convenience:
It's easy to add or remove rackmounts servers - the technician simply needs to slide the server along the rails. Bear in mind that the bigger the server (4U, 5U), the heavier it will be and the more cooling it will need.Expandable:
It's easy to add upgrades or extra servers. If your operations expand, there's plenty of space to aither add multiple servers or carry out upgrades. Thanks to hot-swappable devices - which can be removed without having to turn off the system power.Consolidated Network Resources:
Every rack server has network interfaces so it's pretty easy to install a network switch into the rack cabinet and connect all the servers to the switch.Explore & Buy Rack Servers from HPE
