Greetings!

Our server room is finally getting some badly needed upgrades (including 
the removal of a partial wall, more power, and a real server room cooling 
unit).

We currently have three server racks.  Once this renovation project is 
complete, we will be adding two fairly full server racks.  We are hoping 
to have these upgrades keep the room adequate for another 5 years.  So, 
depending on the recommendations of rack spacing, it may be necessary to 
take out another wall and expand into what is currently an office.

So, the questions are:

1. How closely together do you space your server racks?  That is, how much 
space between each rack?

2. How far out from the walls to you have them (both for air flow and for 
rear access)?

I believe the current dimensions of the room would allow 7 racks (and we 
are already claiming space for 5) along one wall and with room for another 
1-2 on another wall.  Your recommendations may force us to re-consider.

Thank you...
