Rack Scale: From the Core to the Edge

 Rack Scale: From the Core to the Edge Re-think traditional computing infrastructure with next-generation, open-source-driven rack scale architecture. Most current mainstream data centers are based on hundreds, sometimes thousands, of racks of independent server machines, each with its own processors, memory, storage, and other resources. The challenge with this traditional approach is that the scalability and flexibility of the resources in the system are bound by the basic building block, the individual server. Rack scale, on the other hand, aims to overcome the limitations of fixed resources in existing infrastructures, fundamentally changing how a data center is built, operates, and expands over time. The cabinet of infrastructure now becomes the building block within the data center. In principle, this enables data centers to become more economical, flexible, easier to manage, and easier to scale out on demand, ultimately lowering capital and operational costs. This disaggrega...

Storage rack fundamentals

  Storage rack fundamentals Product design, warehouse needs, and long-term demands reign supreme in designing the best racking system for the modern warehouse. Robotics and automation may be all the rage in warehousing circles these days, but the building blocks of the modern warehouse haven’t strayed far from their roots. Storage racks—the traditional, nonautomated kind—are a prime example and an often overlooked aspect of today’s fast-moving, high-tech facilities. These warehouse staples can help maximize storage space, speed throughput, and create a safer work environment in facilities of all shapes and sizes—provided you have the right system in place to meet your needs.  Wondering how to choose the right storage racking for your warehouse—or determine if your current system is the right one? These three steps can help guide the way. STEP 1: UNDERSTAND RACK FUNDAMENTALS In warehousing and logistics, industrial storage racks typically hold pallets, cases, and large individu...
