3U Rackmount Server
Benefits of 3U Rack Servers :
3U Servers Usually have more room for expansion that smaller 1U and 2U servers. with upto 16 x 3.5" Hard drive bays, and upto 8 PCI-E or PCI Slots available
We are regularly asked about providing short depth 3U servers, or DC powered 3U servers to be fitted into vehicles such as vans, yachts and buses .
Disadvantages of 3U Rack Servers :
As 3U servers are larger than 1U and 2U servers, they take up alot more room in a rackmount cabinets. Therefore you can only install 14 x 3U servers in a 42U Cabinet
As the fans are much larger on a 3U server, to keep the Servers cool they can spin slower to create the right amount of airflow. For this reason some 3U servers can be quieter than smaller 1U or 2U servers.
For our customers where low noise is an issue, we do have some very quiet rackmount servers.
Industry departments that tend to favour 3U servers are typically:
Data Storage Companies
Backup Servers for Data Centres,
Servers that are hosted locally where space is not expensive.
Large Corporations with Many Servers.
