AXIS Rack Solution
The AXIS Video Server Rack is a 19” rack solution that can be
used to mount a large number of video servers (typically serving
15-20 cameras and upwards) with a common power supply,
providing a space-efficient solution.
The Axis rack solution combines high reliability and
functionality with quick, flexible and professional installation.
Designed for improved serviceability and quick replacement
of units, the rack holds up to 12 interchangeable and hot-
swappable blades, so there is no need for power-down during
installation or service.
The Axis rack solution is designed for applications involving
large number of cameras, both existing and new systems. It is
also ideal for applications handling large physical surveillance
areas such as prisons, airports, large buildings, university
campuses and bus, subway and railway stations.
