Select a Rack

Selecting a rack allows you to plan and allocate a dedicated physical space for the hardware. You also understand the power and networking requirements to make necessary arrangements at your location.

Multi-Rack

You can order multiple racks to handle your increasing workloads. The Max rack population field allows you to specify the number of hosts you can order for your rack. Your SDDC can accommodate a total of three racks and the number of hosts depends on the SDDC you choose:

• R2 Three-phase: Your SDDC accommodates 27 hosts (26 hosts + 1 standby)
• R2 Single-phase: Your SDDC accommodates 13 hosts (12 hosts + 1 standby)

However, if you want to start with a single rack when ordering your first SDDC and want to increase the capacity later, you can still scale up your future deployments by using the multi-rack feature.

You can select one of the following racks based on your requirement:

• Select a Standard Rack Model
• Select a Rack Configuration for Onsite Racking
