Rackmount workstation ERNITEC WT5 5U with 16TB storage

ERNITEC WT5 5U rackmount workstation with 16TB storage is a rack-mounted computing and storage unit built for environments where space-efficient, high-capacity local storage and workstation performance are required. Designed to fit standard 19-inch racks, this 5U system combines workstation-class components with large onboard disk capacity to support continuous operation in server rooms, control centres and integrated hardware setups. The unit is intended for professional tasks such as video surveillance recording, centralized backup, data consolidation and applications that require a robust rackmount workstation with significant local storage.

Advantages

The ERNITEC WT5 offers a compact 5U form factor that saves rack space while providing 16TB of internal storage, enabling long-term local retention of large data sets. Its rack-optimised design simplifies installation into existing server racks and reduces the need for separate storage enclosures. The combination of workstation-class I/O and substantial onboard capacity supports sustained data throughput for recording and backup tasks, and the enclosed chassis provides reliable operation suitable for continuous 24/7 use in professional installations.

Suitable for

• Video surveillance systems and network video recorders (NVR)
• On-site backup and archival of business data
• Workstation tasks that require rack mounting and large local storage
• Media ingestion, editing and storage workflows in studio racks
• Server room consolidation where rack space and local capacity are priorities

Key specifications

• Form factor: 5U rackmount, compatible with 19-inch racks
• Internal storage capacity: 16TB (built-in drives)
• Designed for continuous operation in professional environments
• Workstation-class connectivity and I/O suitable for data-heavy applications
• Enclosed chassis for rack-based deployments

How to use

Mount the WT5 into a compatible 19-inch rack using appropriate mounting rails or brackets and secure according to rack manufacturer guidelines. Connect power and network interfaces to your infrastructure, configure storage and RAID if required by your application, and install or connect the desired workstation or server software. For surveillance or backup deployments, integrate the WT5 with your recording or backup software, assign storage volumes and test write/read performance under expected workloads before going into production.

Usage recommendations

Place the unit in a ventilated rack location with adequate cooling and stable power. Regularly monitor drive health and storage utilisation, and implement scheduled backups and maintenance to ensure consistent performance. For high-availability setups, consider external redundancy and off-site replication in addition to the onboard 16TB capacity.
