Abstract: A datacenter including a plurality of racks. The racks associated with a motorized and/or automated system to move the racks between first and second positions. In the first position, the racks are arranged in a side-by-side fashion in one or more rows. In the second position, a rack is moved so that a lateral side of the rack is accessible. In some embodiments, the racks include a motor and gear system for interacting with tracks. In some embodiments, each of the racks includes a plurality of chassis, each chassis including a plurality of input/output (I/O) connectors to receive a connector of a cable, the plurality of I/O connectors are arranged along a lateral side of the chassis so that they are accessible when the rack is in the second position. In use, the racks may be moved between the first and second positions while the chassis remain in normal operation.
