Rack Mounted Servers (2 products)

A rack server, or rather a rack-mounted server, has a low-profile closure. Unlike a free-standing tower server with a recognisable, desktop PC-like form factor, rack-mounted servers can be stacked on top of one another in a server cabinet. This is the primary advantage of a rack mounted server - to conserve space.

Rack Mounted Servers at Ebuyer

Although one rack mounted server's surface area may eclipse a tower server, when you're rapidly expanding your networking infrastructure, they can be piled up high in a vertical orientation as part of a rack cabinet. While a tower server is an accessible, convenient and manoeuvrable option that's able to fit on or underneath your desk alongside your workstation - perhaps best suited for a work-from-home environment - they don't scale up as nicely as a rack mounted server.

Having many tower servers strewn about your office isn't optimal for efficiently managing your networking infrastructure. Whereas racks and racks of servers mounted in a cabinet can be accommodated in one location - a spare room or even a large cupboard - for optimised, streamlined and centralised access to your entire network.

This makes a rack mounted server an ideal solution for expanding businesses that'll need more computational power to supplement their growth. The physical dimensions of one rack mounted server may be small, but when their power is combined, they can easily cope with your business's increasing demands. Making them ideal for large-scale datacentres, down to small and medium-sized businesses who are expanding but need to conserve space.

Advantages of a Rack Mounted Server

One of the stand-out advantages of a rack mounted server is their flexible configuration. With many mounting slots and available sizes, a rack mounted server can be heavily customised to suit even the most obscure demand, as the components are designed to work together as a singular unit. Server-grade components have made serious strides in recent years with AMD's latest generation EPYC server processors offering up 64 cores and 128 threads. When choosing a rack mounted server, you'll need to consider all the components in relation to your server's assigned tasks - at present and in the future.

Scalable Performance

Are you looking for a rack mounted server for hosting a large amount of data, such as a file-hosting server for web, e-mail or back-ups? A chunkier, 2U (two server rack units) rack mounted server with an abundance of space for enterprise hard drives and hot-swappable bays may be more applicable. Whereas if you're purely focused on one dedicated, performance-intensive task - for instance, virtualisation - you'll want a rack mounted server with blistering processing power and terabytes' worth of server memory.

Rack Cabinet Components

This is the key advantage of opting for a rack mounted server over a tower server. You can have many rack mounted servers tackling their individual tasks, but they're all grouped together in one spot. A rack cabinet doesn't only house rack mounted servers. Uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), routers, switches and more can be installed in a cabinet to further augment and enhance your networking set-up.

Leading Brands of Rack Mounted Servers

Capable of carrying out complex tasks, processing swathes of data and hosting large networks, a rack mounted server is the powerhouse behind an enterprise network. Ebuyer's broad range of rack mounted servers come in many configurations and from all the biggest, industry-leading names in networking. Featured on these pages, you'll find top-of-the-range servers from industry giant HPE ProLiant, as well as other major brands including Dell and Lenovo.
