Hi All, We are getting additional rack space in Tmelehouse East (a new foot print) for one extra 19" rack.
We are allowed to (according to our Smelehouse account manager) put in a rack that is 600 wide and 900 deep. The max height is "42u" but that is a bit ambiguous as that is only the rack-able height in my opinion. Cable management is big on my list of priorities. Our existing rack in THE is now in a reasonably tidy state but it hasn't always been that way and one problem with places like the Smelehouse DCs is that we have a lot of third part circuits terminating in them. External contractors and cablers enter our racks to deliver these circuits. This is why cable manage is so important to us so they can't "knock" out a fibre or shut something in the door. Has anyone got any recommendations for a rack that would fit in a 600x900 space that includes decent cable management up and down the rack, or you have purchased in addition for the rack. This includes PDUs too, any PDU recommendations (we obviously have existing PDUs we use which we are happy which, they are a bit of squash to get in though so open to new ideas) ? Vertical PDUs with per port cycling and power measuring. Kind regards, James.
