Design Phase

Server level design

Flexibility to custom configure server components while considering scalability, power usage, airflow to accommodate for future growth.

Rack level design

Rack level design begins with selecting the appropriate enclosure based on dimensions and weight capacity. A prototype design is then generated and manufactured. A few examples of rack enclosure customization:

Switch / PDU equipment support brackets
Internal and external floor mounting strategies
Power Distribution Unit support design
Custom exhaust vents
Cable manager

Build Phase

The build phase includes assembly, testing, and validation. Server and storage units are assembled and tested at our production facilities. Hardware components goes through Quality Control processes before assembly, and new configurations are validated in the Racklive Lab. Rigorous testing involves both industry-standard and in-house processes to ensure component quality and interoperability. A "Gold Standard" unit is set aside for large deployment build in order to allow for future testing or when new component or firmware upgrades are being considered.

Rack Engineering Phase

The rack engineering phase involves meticulous attention to detail through a checklist from racking, stacking, cabling, labeling, to imaging. Layout considerations encompass power supply and network port positions. Power distribution and balancing are meticulously calculated for each server configuration. Each rack undergoes final check and thorough testing, guaranteeing quality assurance in the Racklive Lab before full production on the manufacturing floor.

Deployment Phase

The complete racks are meticulously packaged with custom built crates and packing materials, purpose-built for local or global shipments. In facilitating a smooth delivery, Racklive provides optional Field Deployment Services that includes a comprehensive on-site review of the racks, including power-on, diagnostics, troubleshooting, on-site technicians equipped with spares for spot repairs, and more.
