Benefits of 1U Rack Servers :

High Density Computing �¢ï¿½ï¿½ Servers ��� can be stacked on top of each other allowing 42 x 1U Servers in a single rackmount server cabinet (about 7 ft tall).

We are regularly asked about providing Short depth DC powered 1U servers to be fitted into vehicles such as vans, yachts and buses .

Twin & Quad 1U Servers are available with up to 4 individual servers in a 1U rackmount space, giving 168 separate servers in a 42U cabinet.

Disadvantages of 1U Rack Servers :

As 1U servers are so thin, expansion slots are usually kept to a minimum. Most 1U rackmount servers only have 1 x PCI-Express or PCI Slot available, however we are able to supply 1U rackmount servers with ��� as much as 3 x PCI-Express or PCI slots.

As the fans are much smaller on a 1U server, to keep the Servers cool they need to spin faster to create the right amount of airflow. For this reason some servers can be noisier than larger servers.
For our customers where low nice is an issue, we do have some very quiet rackmount servers.

1U Servers are designed for companies that require a large number of servers in a small space. This is also known as High Density servers, allowing typically 42 Rackmount server in a 19�¢ï¿½ï¿½ Rack Server Cabinet standing around 7ft tall.

Industries that tend to favor 1U servers are typically:
