Racks
Known by many names, a System Administration Server Racks is a metal frame chassis that holds, stacks, organizes, secures and protects various computer network and server hardware devices. The term “network” refers to the rack being used to house network hardware like routers, switches, access points, and modems.
The same rack holds servers and other computer systems, although some are designed with specific device types in mind. The rack works by securing network and other computer hardware within the mounting fixtures via brackets, bolts and other hardware to keep the hardware in its secure place.
Benefits of a Two-Post Rack
Once installed, the two post rack allows for you to stack several different network devices on top of each other taking advantage of vertical space to reduce how much floor space you use to store your gear. The racks are also very sturdy and can be secured into the floor, making it very difficult to knock over any installed equipment. Additionally, the open nature of the rack minimizes airflow obstruction and makes it easier to manage network cables.
