Sonnet Unveils RackMac Pro

News Image
Sonnet has unveiled its RackMac Pro rackmount solution for the new Mac Pro. The unit supports the installation of one or two new Mac Pro computers mounted side by side in a 4U rack space and offers features for ease of operation.

The RackMac Pro ships in two configurations. The first is available with a single RackMac Pro Computer Mounting Module preinstalled, leaving space for an optional second Computer Mounting Module. The second ships with two Computer Mounting Modules preinstalled and ready to accommodate two Mac Pro computers.
Occupying a 4U rack space (7 inches) and just 16 inches deep, the rackmount is aimed for use in a range of popular mobile racks, carts, and rack cases, as well as in a server room. Sonnet constructed a protective cocoon for each computer out of formed steel and lined it with soft-touch padding to hold the computer firmly in place.
The new Mac Pro's cylindrical core employs a single large fan that cools the computer. Mounted on their sides inside RackMac Pro, each computer's airflow path remains unchanged and unobstructed. Full, independent airflow through the computer is maintained consistently within Apple's usage guidelines, even when the RackMac Pro is installed between other equipment in a loaded rack.
The RackMac Pro extends each Mac Pro's Gigabit Ethernet, USB 3.0, HDMI, and power interfaces to panel-mounted connectors on the back of the unit for external cable connection. A USB 3.0 interface and power switch are mounted on the front to enable the user to connect a USB peripheral and activate the computer's power switch.
The RackMac Pro also includes convenient mounting support for specialty network interface Thunderbolt adapters such as Promise Technology SANLink2 Fibre Channel adapters.
"From the day the new Mac Pro was announced, we immediately began receiving requests for a rackmount solution," said Robert Farnsworth, CEO of Sonnet Technologies. "With the success of our RackMac mini rackmount enclosure for Mac mini computers, it was logical that our customers immediately looked to Sonnet to design a solution for properly rack-mounting the new Mac Pro. We feel we have delivered the best combination of functionality, ruggedness, and efficient utilisation of space."
