How Custom Server Racks Promote Efficient Spending

Posted by Joyce Vinzani on Jul 11th 2016

One of the most straightforward ways to increase profits is to cut costs. There are a number of ways to go about doing this: from simply being frugal, to company-wide restructuring/downsizing. However, what if we were to tell you that one of the best ways to save money is by spending money?

Clearly, there is a twist in what we mean when we say this. That is, spending money efficiently on wise investments—despite up-front costs—can save you tons of money down the road. So, what types of investments can you make for your business that will promote this type of efficient spending?

If you happened to read the title of this week’s blog (we would hope), you already know the answer to this question. Investing in custom server rack solutions for your data center will have a host of benefits. We list a few below:

1. Reduction of excess

Suppose that you have an amount of equipment that would fully fill five stock server racks, although you would need to purchase a sixth in order to contain all of the equipment (and that the sixth rack would be largely unoccupied save for the small amount of equipment that couldn’t fit in the first five). By choosing custom server rack solutions, you would eliminate the need to purchase that final rack, saving you money.

2. Planning for future growth

Thinking ahead is always a good idea. Simply buying larger racks with room to spare can allow you to grow into them. But, the optimal way to do so is to customize the space that you will be growing into. Take the 8U Wall Mount Rack by Kendall Howard, for example. This highly customizable rack lets you not only store multiple types of equipment, but its 350 pound weight capacity allows you to store equipment on the heavier side as well.

3. Higher productivity

Buying a cumbersome, generic rack can lead to headaches when it comes time for maintenance and repairs. Custom server racks that are tailored to not only fit your equipment, but are specialized for accessibility, will save you time and money in the long run.

The moral of the story is that planning ahead and investing in custom products will save you money down the road, despite the cost of your initial purchase. Make sure to check out our full selection of custom server racks here at Rackfinitity!
