Why a rack?

Why choose a rack-based server solution?

Rack solutions can meet your needs and answer the key infrastructure questions facing your business today.

For example,

  • Does your infrastructure have a sufficient cooling capability to handle everything ranging from single racks to completed data centers?
  • Is your power supply and protection capacity ready and sufficient enough to provide high availability?
  • How can IT space be improved so that further expansions can be made—and without causing disruption?
  • Are applications, servers, and storage systems secure against physical breakdown?
  • How can you manage all functions remotely to produce greater efficiency?
  • How can you permanently lower your costs—from initial investment to ongoing total cost of ownership (TCO)?

Server consolidation for improved security and increased manageability

Maintaining efficient management of data center servers is a challenge.  With a rack-based server solution, you can consolidate the management of your critical IT resources, including servers, and control them from just one central keyboard, video, mouse (KVM) unit, or even control them remotely using an HP Integrated Lights-Out (iLO) or Lights-Out 100 Remote Management Card.
