It might sound as "how long is a piece of string"? In my current job the process is to leave 1U spacing, with no blinders, between servers; this incurs a considerable loss of space, no event sparking about turbulent air flow. Everyone is adamant that's the way to go and I have hard time making my case for a no spacing approach to rack-filling. What's your experience? Provided that the AC air flow is fine and tile floor robust, how many hp servers have you managed to put into a 42U rack?
I'd love to have hp official recommendations, if anyone has a link to share.
Thank you, -A Ps: google search didn't really give usefull info...
