| Rackmount (1U/2U) | Tower | |
|---|---|---|
| Where to install | In a 19″ server rack | In any room, like a desktop PC |
| Noise | High — slim chassis require high-speed fans | Low, suitable for office placement |
| Expansion | Limited by chassis height | More space for drives and cards |
| Scalability | Easily expand your rack infrastructure | Every server takes up space in the room |
| To whom | Have a server room or data center space | Small business without a server room |
