Server cabinets from Thomas-Krenn

Not every company stores its IT infrastructure in a data center - an on-site server room is often used to securely house the systems. This can be a server room in the office building, in the basement, a separate technical room or even a converted storage room. These environments are often quite small and not as well secured as a professional data center. Your server racks should therefore offer the highest possible capacity. We offer a selection of IT rack cabinets with 9 to 42 height units so that you can find the right solution for your server environment. To protect the equipment from unauthorized use, Thomas-Krenn server cabinet systems are equipped with safety glass and lockable front doors.

As every server room has individual requirements, we offer various options for ventilation as well as floor and base systems to optimally adapt your server cabinet to the conditions. An additional advantage: our network cabinets and server racks are manufactured in accordance with the IP protection class standard. This means they can also be installed in dirty, unsafe environments.

In contrast to server rooms, data centers have a professional infrastructure, strict security measures such as access controls and monitoring and usually offer more space, making computing capacities scalable. Many companies therefore choose to house their servers in data centers rather than server rooms.

In data centers, server racks are a central component of the overall network infrastructure. The choice of high-quality server racks with a large number of height units plays a decisive role here, as they efficiently accommodate many devices and thus save space and costs. Important aspects are not only the capacity for the hardware, but also sufficient space for power distribution, cable management and air circulation, whereby access should always be simple and clear. These requirements are crucial for a good IT rack cabinet. We place particular emphasis on these features when selecting our range.

Edge computing is a decentralized computing model in which data processing and storage takes place closer to the source of the data, i.e. "at the edge" of the network. Instead of sending all data to central data centers or the cloud, data is processed locally on devices or at locations. This is the case with certain applications such as the Internet of Things (IoT) or Industry 4.0.

With edge computing, the data is processed directly on site in real time and integrated directly into the processes. This minimizes transmission times and reduces potential sources of error that could arise during long data transmissions. Server cabinets designed for this special use must meet special requirements, particularly with regard to protection against external environmental influences and unauthorized access to the system. At the same time, high scalability is crucial. With our compact data center server cabinets for edge computing, we at Thomas-Krenn meet all these requirements perfectly.
