1U Rack Servers

1U Servers occupy one rack unit - 1.75 inches in height, and are ideal for both small and large projects. 1U servers offer fast storage, processing power, and energy efficiency, and typically offer support for a single-slot full-height PCIe expansion card all in an extremely small footprint, and are commonly used for highly versatile applications ranging anywhere from domain controllers, firewalls and other small network appliances, to file servers and network attached storage (NAS), all the way up to high performance computing and virtualization. 1U Servers are the perfect solution for space-constrained environments, and cost effective options when rack space is at an all-time premium, at the expense of expandability and acoustic noise. If multiple PCIe cards, or high-capacity storage is needed, a 2U or larger server may be a better fit for your project.
