Benefits of Open Frame Server Racks
November 24, 2015
When it comes to organizing and setting up equipment in a computer room or data center, it is important to make the best use of the space available. For this reason, open frame server racks are a great solution to help stay organized in a cost-effective manner. Here are five benefits of open frame server racks and why you should consider them for you equipment storage needs.
- Cost
Open frame server racks are a cost-effective way to manage equipment, compared to enclosed racks. The cost of producing and shipping are less than those of closed cabinet or server racks.
- Quick installation
Not having to worry about installing doors or side panels makes the installation of open server racks a much easier task.
- Airflow
Enclosed racks can create an environment for heat to build up. Open frame server racks, on the other hand, allow for unrestricted airflow, preventing heat build-up.
- Easy access
The open design allows for easy access to equipment and cabling.
- Better cable management
It can be a challenge trying to manage cords and cables with an enclosed server rack, but with an open frame rack, cable management is much easier as you can run the cables without any obstacles from doors or panels.
