Customized Private Rack Solutions
Private Racks are ideal for larger environments which need a “built-to-order” solution designed to meet specific, complex requirements. The Planet has a proven history of deploying complex, customized networks, network and power redundancy, and high performance SAN solutions. We can deliver multiple-site redundancy with global load balancing from our Houston and Dallas datacenters, and additional sites may be available for larger deployments.
Key Benefits of Our Private Rack Solutions

Unlimited Server-to-Server Transfer
Multiple servers within the same private rack have dedicated and unlimited connectivity so you don't have to pay for bandwidth between your servers.
Reduced Risk of Bandwidth Overages
Private rack solutions allow customers to pool bandwidth across all of the servers in the environment. No longer do you have to play the guessing game of which server will have a bandwidth overage, only to find other servers in your environment are below their limit. Pooled bandwidth lets your servers share the bandwidth that comes included with every server from The Planet.
Access to Advanced Security and Hosting Technologies
A complete hosting solution for complex environments requires advanced firewalls, load balancers, and storage solutions. Private rack solutions from The Planet allow customers to take advantage of these advanced solutions across their multi-server applications.
Scalability and Customization
A private rack from The Planet will allow you to quickly respond to changing business needs. Whether you need additional servers at a moment’s notice or a new, secure network for internal communications, we can quickly and professionally deliver the best solution for your business.
