Your network is growing and so is your data center footprint. The pace of deployment for storage continues to increase, while the refresh cycle for compute continues to shorten. How will you support rapid deployment so that racks (cabinets), power and network are in place when compute and storage is required?
Standardize on a rack (cabinet) solution to define the critical elements to your organization and simplify purchasing and deployment process. Consider the size, rack-mount system, load bearing capacity, panel work, thermal management, cable management, power distribution and monitoring, environmental monitoring, and access control. Ask about features that speed installation and removal of equipment. Request that your manufacturer pre-assemble or kit the solution to speed deployment and ask about staging for phased installations.
