Abstract
Computer facilities and computer storage systems for such facilities. In one embodiment, a computer storage system for a co-location computer facility comprises a rack, a first cable guard and at least a first computer storage unit. The rack can comprise a first upright having a first height and a second upright spaced laterally apart from the first upright. The cable guard can be attached to the first upright, and the cable guard can be an enclosure extending along the first upright for at least a portion of the first height of the rack. The cable guard can also include a lockable door on a first side of the enclosure. The first computer storage unit can have several different configurations. In one embodiment, the first computer storage unit comprises a first rigid case removably attached to the first and second uprights, a first door movably attached to the first case, and a first lock attached to the first door. The first case generally has a second height less than the first height of the first upright. In other embodiments, the computer storage system can also include a second computer storage unit having a second rigid case removably attached to the first and second uprights, a second door movably attached to the second case, and a second lock attached to the second door. The second case, for example, can have a height less than the first height of the first upright, and the second computer storage unit is separate from the first computer storage unit.
