HARDWARE FOOTPRINT PLANNER
How much space do you need?
Estimate rack space and power from your hardware inventory. The planner uses 42U per cabinet and adds 20% headroom to the equipment power estimate. These are planning assumptions, not facility specifications.
Before your deployment
- Confirm equipment depth, weight and rail compatibility.
- Document dual power supply and cabling requirements.
- Plan maintenance access and remote-hands requirements.

Plan private cages around the workload
Before selecting private cages, document peak demand, expected growth and the effect of an outage. The practical goal is to define a separated colocation footprint with clear access responsibilities. Include application dependencies and migration constraints so a configuration can be reviewed against measurable requirements.
What to confirm in a private cages quote
Ask for an itemized configuration, selected location, billing cycle and the scope of any optional licenses or managed work. Availability and final pricing for private cages require confirmation. A listing or request does not reserve hardware, activate a license or start provisioning.

Your questions, answered
How is the rack estimate calculated?+
The planner multiplies device count by rack units, uses a 42U cabinet assumption and adds 20% power headroom. Confirm actual facility specifications before deployment.
Does this reserve rack space?+
No. The planner creates requirements for a discussion; it does not reserve capacity or connect to a data center system.
What should I confirm before placing an order?+
Confirm the selected configuration, deployment location, availability, billing cycle and applicable tax. Service activation follows payment verification and order review.
