§  No cooling or security features.

2.     Wall-Mount Racks

o    What it is: Small racks mounted on walls.

o    Best For: Compact spaces or small offices.

o    Specifications:

§  Height: 6U–15U.

§  Depth: 12–18 inches.

§  Lightweight, with basic ventilation.

3.     Server Racks (Enclosed Cabinets)

o    What it is: Fully enclosed with doors and side panels.

o    Best For: High-security and large data centers.

o    Specifications:

§  Height: 42U or more.

§  Depth: 36–48 inches.

4.     Portable Racks

§  Includes: Handles, wheels, and sometimes covers.

§  Lightweight and easy to move.

5.     Custom Racks

o    What it is: Tailored for specific needs.

o    Best For: Special projects requiring unique dimensions.

o    Specifications:

§  Depends on requirements (height, width, cooling, etc.).

§  Usually more expensive.

                                    ___________________

o    The height of a rack in inches depends on the number of U units it has. Each U (rack unit) equals 1.75 inches.

Example:

§  6U rack: 6×1.75=10.56×1.75=10.5 inches.

§  12U rack: 12×1.75=2112×1.75=21 inches.

§  42U rack: 42×1.75=73.542×1.75=73.5 inches.

So, for any rack height, multiply the U number by 1.75 to get the height in inches!

                               ________________

Common Rack Sizes:

  • 6U Rack:
    • 6 devices (1U each), or 3 devices (2U each).
  • 12U Rack:
    • 12 devices (1U each), or 6 devices (2U each).

DOS AND DDOS ATTACK

A Dos (Denial-Of-Service) Attack and A DDOS (Distributed Denial-Of-Service) Attack Are Both Attempts to Make a Computer System or Network Resource Unavailable to Legitimate Users. However, They Differ in How They Achieve This: Dos Attack: Imagine A Single Person Throwing Rocks at A Castle Gate. A This Person Represents the Attacker, And the Rocks Represent the Malicious Traffic. The Castle Gate Represents the Target System or Network Resource. The Attacker Keeps Throwing Rocks, Trying to Overwhelm the Gate's Defenses and Gain Entry. Dos Attacks Are Typically Launched from A Single System. They Can Be Effective Against Small Systems or Networks, But Larger Systems Can Often Withstand Them. DDos Attack: Imagine An Army Throwing Rocks at A Castle Gate. This Army Represents the Attacker, And the Rocks Represent the Malicious Traffic. The Castle Gate Represents the Target System or Network Resource. The Attackers Coordinate Their Attack, Throwing Rocks from Multiple Directions at Once. ...
