Side to side isn't that important. Side to wall is, in that you need to make sure you can open your rack doors wide and also give yourself room for two people to mount equipment (one on each side). Make sure you have room in front and back of the racks that you can easily install and remove

I can't say much about my current situation as we only have one rack. However, at a previous position, we had a *bunch* of racks literally side-by-side jammed so close together you couldn't fit a sheet of paper between them. Of course, those racks had open bottoms with forced-air cooling
