A comprehensive rack
design, build and test service
Put simply, Rack integration is the act of building computers (and ancillary parts) into a 19″ cabinet, allowing for a fast and efficient deployment. The not so simple part is doing it well.
At our dedicated and secure facility in Hampshire, Novatech has been designing and manufacturing specialised and advanced compute, simulation, network and storage solutions for close to 30 years.
Integrated Racks are deployed mainly in industries and mission-critical applications where continuous operation is crucial and downtime is costly. Therefore it is vital that the planning, design and installation is carried out with the highest level of technical expertise, understanding and precision.
BEYOND THE HARDWARE
Buying the hardware is just the start. With a wide range of warranty and support plans our SC cleared engineers and award-winning support team will ensure that mission critical systems are maintained to the highest level, at all times.
We offer a complete end-to-end project management service. From consultation, design, build and test, through to the delivery and installation of pre-configured, ready to go racks. To ensure the optimum reliability and consistent quality, we take care of the following;
Power and cooling requirements
Cable layout and coding
Complete rack integration, imaging and testing
Hardware and networking configuration to your spec
Specific software requirements
Documentation and detailed labelling
Global logistics
Installation, support and maintenance options
How it works
As with everything we do at Novatech we start with a consultation, this may also include a site visit to take into account in any factors that may affect the build and installation. From there your designated project manager will work alongside our solutions architects to create a detailed layout and integration plan that will meet your requirements and suit your environment. We also take care to ensure that we only select components that can deliver longevity to avoid obsolescence.
Once your build has been assembled, racked, cabled and labelled, it is then extensively tested at both the server and rack level. Depending on the project plan we also go beyond basic tests to include thermal testing, power usage effectiveness and extended burn-in times.
Have a project you’re interested in discussing with us?
Give us the details, we’d love to talk.
To ensure safe transport we ship all of our racks in custom built shock resistant crates. Depending on your preference the racks can either be shipped unpopulated, where the components are individually boxed, then re-integrated on your premises (which is often the safer method). Or we can supply you with a fully populated complete rack, ready to go straight out of the box. Either way, we can supply you with all the documentation and support to ensure that setup and installation run as smoothly as possible.
