Building or upscaling an IT infrastructure is a daunting task where each component must be carefully examined to ensure performance and sustainability. In this regard, the network or server rack is an important part that holds and organizes the equipment and servers in the data center and Hub room. It ensures proper airflow, easy maintenance, and sufficient space for scalability. Hence, choosing the right network or server rack is essential for any data center or Hub room. Understanding rack units, dimensions and weight capacity The first step in choosing a network or server racks is to decide on the required dimension. Server racks are measured in rack units (U), where each unit is 1.75 inches high or 44.45 mm. Standard sizes range from 24U to 48U or more. Depending upon the network equipment, servers, and future plans one should make a conscious decision. Here, one should also consider

Server rooms need continuous and uninterrupted power supply to run the operation smoothly. Hence, in the heart of such critical infrastructure lies the power distribution unit (PDU) because it is the PDU that ensures that servers, network equipment, and other essential hardware receives safe and uninterrupted power supply. Understanding the role of PDUs Netrack believes that server rooms are complex environments where power outage for even a brief period can lead to system failures, significant downtime, and data loss due to surge. This is where a PDU comes handy, protecting devices and equipment. It works as a centralized power hub, channeling electricity to servers, storage devices, routers, and other essential equipment. These PDUs ensure efficient power management in server rooms by maintaining a constant flow of electricity. One of the most critical tasks of a PDU is to distribute power evenly across all connected devices. If there is any uneven load distribution it may cause

Data is the most precious raw material for a business so is the data center. Hence managing the data center efficiently is the key to creating an optimized ecosystem of success and performance. Now, one of the most critical components of efficient data center management is the server rack. Server racks are more than just metal enclosures to house IT equipment; they are vital tools for optimizing performance, maximizing space, and improving the overall functionality of the data center. Optimize space utilization The primary reason why server racks gained popularity was its capability to maximize the space utilization. One of the pressing challenge in a growing data center environment is to effectively utilize the available space. In such scenario, server racks offer an excellent solution to arrange the equipment, servers, switches, and cables into organized enclosures. This enhances the possibility to support higher-density environments in a data center while making all the equipment and

Living in a technology-driven world can be beneficial however, it comes with its own challenges. One such threat is Electrostatic Discharge (ESD). ESD is the sudden flow of electricity between two objects with different electrical potentials. This happens if anyone touches an object with static buildup, releasing the charge. Although it might apparently seem harmless, ESD causes serious damage to the electronic devices in a research lab, manufacturing facility, or testing environment. In fact, a single ESD event can permanently damage electronic devices, affecting performance, reliability, and functionality. Hence, protecting them is essential to prevent operational disruption. Importance of ESD protection in labs In any laboratory or production environment dealing with electronics, ESD is a serious concern. Devices such as microchips, integrated circuits, and printed circuit boards (PCBs) can be ruined with just a small static shock. This leads to increase in cost due to component damage.

Data centers are enabling technological advances to a great extent ensuring that data transmission remains efficient. Now, the traditional copper-based network infrastructures can no longer support the continuous scalability requirements in the present scenario. This is where the revolutionary optical switch technology in the data center is required. The need for optical switch technology and how it can help! To understand the need further, an optical switch is a device that routes data by using light signals through fiber optic cables, rather than traditional electrical signals in copper-based systems. In fact, an optical switch can handle the entire process in the optical domain unlike the traditional electronic switches that convert electrical signals to optical and then back to electrical. This improves the bandwidth of the connection. Now, as we know that with the increase in data volume, speed is essential for a data center operation to run smoothly. Also, it can reduce latency

Power Distribution Units (PDUs) are an important part of any data center or IT infrastructure. Since it provides reliable power distribution to multiple devices hence, choosing the right PDU form factor and mounting option as per requirement is essential for maximizing – efficiency and space utilization; making the process of power management seamless. Choosing the right PDU form for enhanced experience The form factor of a PDU refers to its physical size and design. Depending upon the space, each data center chooses its PDU form. In this regard, rack-mount PDUs are the most common type of PDU used in data centers. They are designed in such a way as to fit within standard IT racks enclosures. They can be either mounted horizontally or vertically depending on the available space and configuration. Horizontal rack-mount PDUs are typically mounted in the 1U or 2U space of a standard 19-inch rack. They are ideal for small data

Data in our digital world has become an important part of our being. Now, the data centers housing servers that store data consume huge amounts of electricity. Hence, as the demand for digital services continues to rise, there is a growing need for sustainable energy solutions. In fact, the look out is for data centers that can be solely powered by renewable energy. Power demands and environmental impacts Historically, many data centers have been powered by fossil fuels, especially natural gas and coal. These energy sources, although reliable and cost-effective, are not sustainable in the long term due to their environmental impact, especially greenhouse gas emissions. According to secondary research, in 2020, data centers consumed around 1% of global electricity. However, this percentage is expected to rise with each passing year. Hence, efforts are being made to embrace sustainable energy solutions as much as possible to reduce the impact on climate change.
