Rack Design
Racks planned for airflow, power, expansion and serviceability.
Overview
A rack you can service in minutes.
A badly planned rack is easy to spot: cables hiding the equipment, servers that overheat, no free power sockets and nobody sure which cable does what. A well-planned rack runs cooler, takes minutes to service and has space for the next three years.
We design and build server and network racks, from a single wall-mount cabinet to rows of 42U racks, with power, airflow and cable management worked out before anything is mounted.
Scope of work
What's included
- U-space and airflow planning
- PDU and UPS sizing
- Cable dressing standards and labeling
- As-built rack elevation diagrams
Every rack design engagement follows our documented delivery process and is handed over with as-built documentation. It also qualifies for our annual maintenance program.
Delivered from our offices in Mumbai, Pune, Kolhapur and Ichalkaranji.
How we deliver it
- 01
Elevation drawing
Every device is placed on a rack elevation first: heavy equipment low, patch panels paired with switches, and space reserved for growth.
- 02
Power
UPS and PDUs sized for the load with headroom, and two power feeds for equipment that has two power supplies.
- 03
Airflow
Front-to-back airflow, blanking panels in empty spaces, and the rack positioned so hot air is not drawn back in.
- 04
Dressing and labeling
Cables cut to length, routed through managers and labeled at both ends, with the as-built elevation in your handover pack.
Buyer's checklist
What to check in any rack
- Is there 20 to 30% free U-space and power capacity?
- Is the rack deep enough for your servers, with room for cables behind them?
- Are the PDUs metered, so you can see the load?
- Are blanking panels fitted to control airflow?
- Is every cable labeled, and is there an up-to-date rack diagram?

FAQs
Rack Design: common questions
What size rack do we need?
A small office can often use a 9U to 15U wall-mount cabinet for a switch, patch panel and router. Once servers are involved, a floor-standing 42U rack at least 1000 mm deep is the practical choice. We size it from your equipment list plus growth.
Can you tidy up an existing rack?
Yes. We document what is connected, plan the new layout, then re-dress, relabel and re-patch in a maintenance window, with a rollback plan.
How much UPS backup does a rack need?
Enough to ride through short power cuts and to shut servers down cleanly in a long one, or to bridge the gap until a generator starts. We calculate it from the measured load, not from nameplate ratings.
