Since we offer affordable racks, UPSes, accessories AND have a state license in electrical... many customers ask us for advice on various IT projects.
This week, we put together some thoughts on setting up a colo rack. Unlike a personal or commercial server system, a Colo center needs full automated control and monitoring and scalability for several clients. This location had a generator, so they only need 5-10mins of uptime.
This simple design begins with a 25U rack and outlines the electrical, UPS and PDU features needed. The full details are here in our library and large pix here
