You need racks that fit your business. Dell listened and now offers you an expanded portfolio of rack enclosures to meet the requirements for your data center today and tomorrow. Rack infrastructure from Leapfrog and Dell help you create an efficient design for your business or school. Dell racks can house not only your Dell servers, but also those you have purchased from other providers-allowing you to integrate existing and new equipment.

Options for every requirement

Dell PowerEdge rack enclosures are designed to hold and protect your server, network, and data storage equipment. All Dell racks are solidly built with a sturdy, practical design and delivered with legendary service, support and reliability. The Dell PowerEdge rack enclosures are offered in three height options: 24U (2420), 42U (4220), and 48U (4820); each rack enclosure is available in the standard dimensions of 600mm wide and 1070mm deep to fit within a two-tile floor plan layout.

Dell has introduced both wide and deep versions of the PowerEdge rack enclosures to address specific requirements for power and cable management:

• Wide racks are useful for networking and blade server installations and other data centers that need to route cables in the sides of the rack.
• Deep racks can benefit high-density and cloud computing installations and other data centers with significant power demands by increasing PDU capacity in the back of the rack.

Efficient cooling

Dell rack enclosures are designed for maximum airflow and the reduction of thermal issues,which means greater efficiency and power savings for your data center. The front and rear doors have 80% perforation to allow air to move through the rack and flexible air dams help keep hot air from recirculating from the back to the front.

Dell's wide rack enclosure employs extended air dams across the front to ensure proper airflow containment. Available blanking panels can further manage airflow by filling unused U-space in the rack.
