Answer 2)Rack hosting is a service in which a hosting provider or a datacenter supplies you with a rack, power and an
internet connection.
The rack is placed in a highly secure environment to wich simple access in person is not possible. Most
datacenters have a very high standard for access tot their location. Acces tot this area is mostly done
through fingerprint/iris/pass scanning.
The power that feeds your servers/routing/switching/storage equipment is delevired through a series of
redundant powersupplies. If you have a high quality datacenter you will receive a 100% uptime guarantee for
your powersupply. You will also receive two seperate feeds to which you receive you power.
A hosting provider will provide your internet connection through a 100Mbit or 1Gbit connection. The hosting
provider will deliver this through a series of routers and switches which are placed redundant.
With a Rack, power and and internet connection, you are free to go and do as you please.
If you need to oursource your service to a more secure location, or if you need more bandwith to and from
your servers to the internet? if you own servers that you want to colocate servers in a datacenter? if you
want to host your own servers and storage solutions in a datacenter. Then you need rack hosting.
