Rackspace Instead of a Server Room

What Does Rackspace Mean?

Rackspace — often referred to as “rack housing” — involves housing your own servers and network components in a professional data center. Unlike traditional hosting services, you retain full control over your hardware, while we take care of the complex and cost-intensive operation of the data center.

Rackspace is a cost-effective and future-proof alternative to running your own server room, particularly for businesses with high standards regarding data protection, performance and compliance.

  • Medium-sized businesses

An Overview of Our Services

The Benefits of Rackspace from GRASS-MERKUR

IT outages not only incur costs, but also jeopardize business processes, customer relationships and productivity.
Our Rackspace solutions are based on a high-availability data center infrastructure with multiple layers of redundancy. Redundant power paths, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), emergency generators and state-of-the-art air-conditioning systems ensure that your systems can operate reliably even under demanding conditions.

This enables you to create a stable foundation for applications such as ERP systems, databases, production control, virtualization and business applications.

Rack Sizes for Every Requirement

Not every company needs a full colocation floor – which is why we offer rack solutions sized precisely to your requirements:

  • Individual rack units (U)
  • Half racks
  • Full 19" server cabinets
  • Multiple adjoining rack rows
  • Custom cage solutions

Your infrastructure grows with you – without relocation or elaborate replanning.

Professional Power Supply

An uninterruptible power supply is the basis for secure IT operations. Our rack solutions come with a multiply secured energy supply:

  • Redundant power feeds
  • UPS systems
  • Emergency power supply
  • Rack-level energy monitoring

That way you keep full transparency over your operating costs at all times.

Cooling for Maximum Performance

As computing power rises, so do the demands on cooling. Our data center infrastructure keeps your servers at a stable temperature:

  • Constant operating temperatures
  • Longer hardware service life
  • Lower risk of failure
  • Higher energy efficiency

Dedicated high-density areas are also available for particularly powerful systems.

  • Low latency
  • High bandwidths
  • Redundant routing

This lets you connect sites, cloud platforms and hybrid IT landscapes efficiently.

Remote Hands from Our Experts

Not every maintenance task requires your own administrators to travel to site. Our remote hands services take on many jobs directly on location:

  • Server restarts & cabling
  • Replacement of defective components
  • Installation of new hardware
  • Visual inspections & documentation

That saves you time, travel costs and valuable resources.

Security at the Highest Level

Alongside cyber security, the physical protection of your systems plays a central role. Our security measures include:

  • Multi-stage access controls
  • Video surveillance & alarm systems
  • Early fire detection & modern extinguishing systems
  • Separated security zones with 24/7 monitoring

Your infrastructure stays reliably protected at all times.
