Rack Architecture

At the core of our platform—and the heart of our data centers—are the server racks themselves.

From dedicated to cloud servers, everything we do starts with a physical machine. And to integrate each machine into our revolutionary network architecture and automated management system, we have a unique approach to rack architecture.

Every rack from Asia to North America and Europe has been built out with the same, standardized methodology; to streamline deployment, minimize error and increase the speed of resolution should any event require hands-on technician support.

Each server comes with triple network ports, for segregated Public Network, Private Network and Management Network access. 40Gbps of connectivity to the rack—20Gbps to the Private Network, 20Gbps to the Public Network—provides exceptional and consistent network performance for every system.

Between providers, not all racks are created equal. But at SoftLayer, each rack is exactly the same.
