Data Centers & Communications Equipment Acoustic Solutions

The continuous operation of servers, cooling systems, routers, switches, and data center power equipment presents significant challenges in noise mitigation. By addressing these challenges, data center and communications equipment operators can minimize the risk of downtime, ensure signal clarity, and improve worker satisfaction.

Lower disruption

Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS), Power Distribution Units (PDU), HVAC systems, cooling fans, blowers and airflow within server racks and rooms can generate considerable noise levels. This can affect the comfort of data center operators, disrupt nearby office spaces or residential areas, and impact actual equipment performance.

Maximize network performance & improve communication quality

The operation of networking equipment, such as routers and switches, can generate electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), resulting in unwanted noise that can degrade signal integrity and impair communication performance.

Reduce environmental noise

Mechanical fans and cooling systems employed in network cabinets and server rooms to dissipate heat generated by networking equipment can produce audible noise levels, potentially disturbing nearby work environments or residential areas.
 

Ensure uninterrupted connectivity

Vibration generated by the rotation of cooling fans and the operation of mechanical components within network equipment can propagate through the infrastructure, causing equipment resonance and affecting the stability of network connections.

Heat generated by networking equipment can lead to elevated temperatures within network cabinets, potentially compromising the reliability and lifespan of sensitive electronic components.
