We're in the middle of working up a review of a Knurr Miracel rack cabinet by Emerson Network Power for CRNtech Magazine. While we'll be taking a very close look at the cabinet (which is about the size of a skinny refrigerator) during our hands-on, we thought we could share a few quick notes that may be of interest:
- It's built with aluminum, not steel, so it's lighter than a lot of previous-generation racks. Since we had to offload it from the truck ourselves (which had no cargo lift), we're thankful for aluminum.
- Its dimensions make it nice for a small area: 6 feet, 8 inches tall by 3 feet, 8 inches deep by about 2 feet wide. It made it through the door and fit snugly but nicely into our real-estate challenged lab.
- It has wheels! Once we got it off the wooden pallet, we easily pulled it where we needed it to go.
Oh, about that cargo lift. It's worth a call prior to delivery to make sure that the freight company has one. Trust us.
Here, we're looking forward to seeing how manageable it is and we have high hopes. Overall, we believe there's a major opportunity in data center upgrades (or first-time builds) for even small businesses.
