Belkin RK1002 24U Premium Enclosure - $1,199
Sturdy Storage For Rackmount Servers
Taking the leap from pedestal systems in a wiring closet to rackmount machines in a server room requires a handful of infrastructure-oriented investments. The most prominent is a sturdy enclosure, large enough to accommodate future growth, but not so big as to be cumbersome. Belkin’s 24U RK1002 is half the size of a full-height rack and offers a sweet spot for SMBs wanting the benefits of a rack configuration without the bulk of unneeded capacity.
The 24U box is four feet tall, two feet wide, and more than three feet deep. It’s built entirely out of steel, giving it the strength to hold up to 2,000 pounds of equipment. Consequently, Belkin’s RK1002 is also very heavy, which is why it comes with heavy-duty casters that make moving the enclosure much easier. Leveling feet drop into place for stability once the chassis is in position.
While the RK1002’s sides are solid, its front and back are made of small cell mesh to promote airflow. Belkin’s design isn’t meant to dampen cooling fan noise, so you’ll definitely want to deploy in a room set aside for IT. Because Belkin’s sleek rack enclosure is so versatile, though, you shouldn’t have a tough time finding the perfect place to put it.
