1. How closely together do you space your server racks? That is, how much space between each rack?
We have six racks of equipment. no spaces between the racks. It will mess up your airflow 2. How far out from the walls to you have them (both for air flow and for rear access)? 3 feet in the back, 4 feet in the front.

Our server room is finally getting some badly needed upgrades (including the removal of a partial wall, more power, and a real server room cooling unit). We currently have three server racks. Once this renovation project is complete, we will be adding two fairly full server racks. We are hoping to have these upgrades keep the room adequate for another 5 years. So, depending on the recommendations of rack spacing, it may be necessary to take out another wall and expand into what is currently an office. So, the questions are: 1. How closely together do you space your server racks? That is, how much space between each rack? 2. How far out from the walls to you have them (both for air flow and for rear access)? I believe the current dimensions of the room would allow 7 racks (and we are already claiming space for 5) along one wall and with room for another 1-2 on another wall. Your recommendations may force us to re-consider.
