What is a Server Bezel?

A bezel is most simply defined as the outside frame around an object or device. In the technology world, this could mean the outside frame of your computer monitor or your smart phone. In the case of data centers, a server bezel is a front cover or faceplate found on the front of a server.

Data centers are huge and it can be hard to stand out from the crowd. This is where custom bezels come in. In addition to providing extra security, bezels can also serve as a branding opportunity.
