The small size is made possible by using VertiBlade, which basically means mounting the equipment vertically. And to top it off it looks really, really great. So great in fact that it’s won a Silver Award at this year’s IDEA awards (International Design Excellence Awards). Designed by Australian firm 4design for Thureon and available in four colours (so far), this is a stunning piece of equipment:

I can actually see this thing taking off, completely replacing the boring old 10U or 21U mini-racks, especially for branch offices or distributed locations. In fact, I would happily use this anywhere, even at home.

Excellent piece of kit, I’m looking forward to getting one ;-)
