Application

Banking & Financial Sites

Secure, monitored infrastructure for branches and data rooms.

Quick answer

Banking and finance sites use 42U cabinets, 2N UPS, 25 kW to 50 kW cooling and access control. Branch rooms typically hold 4 to 10 cabinets; head offices hold 20 to 40, with 10 to 30 minutes of battery runtime.

Financial sites need physical security, auditability and power continuity. Cabinets are locked, access is logged, and UPS runtime is sized for orderly shutdown or generator transfer.

RackSource supplies server cabinets, wall cabinets, PDUs and integrated rooms for branch computer rooms, trading floors and disaster-recovery sites.

What this environment demands

  • —Physical security and access audit
  • —Power continuity for transactions
  • —Heat load in small branch rooms
  • —Standardization across many branches

How RackSource approaches it

  • —Lockable cabinets with access-control options
  • —UPS and PDU configuration for branch loads
  • —Integrated cabinets for small rooms
  • —Repeatable bill of materials for roll-outs
Industry data

Typical deployment data for this application

Branch and data-center projects in finance prioritise availability, physical security and auditability. A branch typically has one to four racks with dual power feeds and 30–60 minutes of UPS runtime; a regional data center may run 5–12 kW per rack with 2N power and strict access control.

Metric Typical industry range Design note
Site profile 1–4 racks branch; 10+ racks regional Separate customer-facing, network and server zones.
IT load 5–12 kW per rack Confirm dual-corded equipment and PDU redundancy.
Power 2N or N+1; 30–60 min UPS Branch runtime for safe shutdown; generator interface for regional sites.
Access control Electronic locks, audit trail, CCTV Record door events and service visits for audit.
Rack security Lockable doors, tamper alarms Separate network and server compartments where required.
Monitoring Environmental and power alarms Send alerts before branch opening hours and to the regional NOC.

Typical design checklist

  • —Map customer, network and server zones.
  • —Confirm dual-feed power and UPS runtime.
  • —Define access-control and audit requirements.
  • —Check CCTV, door contacts and tamper alarms.
  • —Agree acceptance tests and handover documents.

Application questions

Can access be integrated with our security system?
Integrated cabinets can provide dry contacts and standard access-control interfaces. The exact integration depends on your security platform and should be confirmed during design.

How is branch UPS runtime sized?
Start from the branch critical load, required ride-through time and generator availability. A 10–30 minute runtime is common where a generator starts automatically; longer runtime is used without a generator.
