Rackmount vs Standalone Phone Farm Box: Which Layout Fits Your Lab?
Both the Rackmount Phone Farm +20 and Enterprise Phone Farm Box support 20 real-device nodes. The difference is how your facility hosts the hardware.
Choose rackmount when: - You already operate a 19" server rack or data-center row - Cooling and power are managed at rack level - You plan to add second and third modules without desk clutter
Choose standalone box when: - The lab is on a bench, shelf, or QA room without rack rails - You need a pilot before committing to rack infrastructure - Portability between sites matters more than rack density
Either path can grow into a Server-Style Device Farm when you exceed 40 nodes. Share your floor plan and we quote rack ears, PSU sizing, and USB topology together.
