VERTIV VR Rack VR3157 – 48U Server Rack with Enhanced Depth

The Vertiv™ VR Rack VR3157 is a 48U server rack engineered for reliability and streamlined configuration in data centers and IT rooms. Built to support growing infrastructures, this enclosure combines sturdy construction with practical design, making it easier to deploy, manage, and maintain essential servers, storage, and networking gear. A standout feature is its deep frame, which provides around 2.5 inches more usable depth than similarly sized racks, enabling more flexible cable routing, improved airflow, and easier rear access for maintenance and upgrades. With its robust engineering and user-friendly configuration, the VR3157 is a dependable solution for organizations seeking scalable rack space without compromising accessibility or performance.

• 48U capacity for scalable IT deployments: The VR3157 offers ample vertical space to accommodate multiple servers, storage devices, and network switches. This generous capacity is ideal for growing environments where modular expansion and efficient space utilization are priorities, helping data centers optimize rack density while preserving serviceability and airflow.
• Enhanced usable depth with a deep frame (≈2.5 in / 63.5 mm): The deeper frame translates to more room behind front-mounted equipment, supporting easier rear cabling, cooling considerations, and future upgrades. This depth advantage helps maintain tidy cable management and reduces the need for aggressive rearrangement as equipment evolves.
• Reliable engineering for continuous operation: Built with a focus on durability and consistent performance, the VR3157 is designed to withstand the rigors of demanding IT environments. The rack’s structure and load-bearing characteristics are tailored to support diverse rack-mount gear while maintaining stability and structural integrity over time.
• Simple and easy configuration: The VR3157 is designed to streamline setup and ongoing maintenance. Its configuration-friendly design helps IT teams deploy equipment quickly, align mounting options, and access components with minimal complexity—reducing downtime and administrative overhead.
• Versatile, ready for data center needs: This 48U rack is suited for a wide range of data center applications, from core computing to edge deployments. Clear access paths, a practical footprint, and robust construction make it adaptable to evolving IT ecosystems and changing rack layouts.
