    Network rack data center placement

    The placement of racks should allow for easy access to equipment and proper airflow. Racks should be aligned in hot aisle/cold aisle configurations, where the fronts of the racks face each other (cold aisle) and the backs of the racks face each other (hot aisle). It provides a clear overview of the physical layout of the rack, including the placement and positioning of servers, switches, storage devices, and other. In this article we talk about proper placement of equipment in a rack, in other words, we take a systematic look at the operation of a server rack: from drawing up a plan and installation to wiring labeling. In high-density environments, planning the server rack layout in advance is crucial.
