Rackmount.IT Founded

Eric Cantineau founded Rackmount.IT in 2010 after his frustration of having no rack mount kit available for his FortiGate 100A. It started small, in the Netherlands. Assembly was done by hand by Eric himself.

A complete range of models

In April 2011, a complete range of rack mount models for the leading security vendors (Fortinet, Cisco, SonicWall, & WatchGuard) was launched.

First DIN Project

Soon we noticed industrial needs. We have developed the FortiDIN series to mount your firewall in an industrial DIN setting.

16 Connections in 1U

A firewall AND 16 interfaces all to the front, easy. But within 1U? A challenge! Nevertheless, in December 2013 we made our first 1U rack mount kit with 16 interfaces, all easily accessible.

DC Power

In September 2015 we successfully developed the DC Power. This device allows your devices to be powered by either 24V or 48V.

More Industrial Needs!

Desktop firewalls can be installed anywhere. That includes high frequency surroundings. With the new Fortinet industrial range this was no longer a problem. With shielded cables and couplers, no more interference!

Another Office?!

January 2017, we have officially opened our second office, located in Round Rock Texas.

First BIG Event

The first big event in which Rackmount.IT participated with its own stand, was the 22nd annual InfoSecurity in London.

USB Coupler

As our first custom connector on the front of the rack, we included a USB coupler. Enabling easy access to the USB port of your firewall.

ISO Certification

Rackmount.IT B.V. is ISO 9001:14001 certified. Although Rackmount.IT LLC and Rackmount.IT Pty Ltd are not
officially included in the scope of the certifications, we are making sure all
offices are following the same standards. 

Documentation regarding to the quality and environmental policy is available on request in English and Dutch.

Let there be light

Another engineering challenge! Mounting the new Meraki MX models, which are mounted backwards in the rack, meant that the status light of the firewall became invisible. With a custom designed light pipe, we have brought the status light to the front of the rack. That's what we call attention to every detail.

Another Warehouse!

After realising a warehouse in the USA in 2017, the next step was to open another one in Australia to better serve our customers in the Australia/NZ region.

New flush design

The RM-FR-T15 is the first rack mount kit with a flush design. The keystones do not stick out anymore due to a double wall in the rack mount kit.

New Corporate Identity

Starting 2021 fresh! A new corporate identity was introduced to better reflect what Rackmount.IT is about.

350.000 and counting

We have produced 350.000 rack mount kits since the beginning of Rackmount.IT. Let's make a whole lot more!

Rackmount.IT goes Australia

Rackmount.IT officially opened their third office. After Breda and Austin we opened an office in Sydney, Australia. We want to expand the business further on this side of the world. Not only with a warehouse but also with an office and Australian team.

Introduction of the Cube

We partnered with Fortinet to develop a custom display solution for tradeshows and events. We are able to do a lot more than just our standard rack mount kits as you can see!

Marrakesh Workation

Our entire team gathered for a workation in Marrakesh, where we held meetings focused on the future of Rackmount.IT.

In addition to our work, we explored the city, indulged in exquisite cuisine and enjoyed each other's company. It made the Rackmount.IT family stronger!

Cisco DIN

We developed the first DIN-mount for Cisco Meraki. Bridging IT and OT is more important than ever. Many businesses don’t need ruggedized hardware but do need efficient, secure rack solutions that fit industrial settings. That’s where our CiDin mounts come in.
