subject: Silence Noisy Servers With Soundproof Server Cabinets & Enclosures [print this page] Most office workers are totally dependent on computers to do their work. They don't have a choice whether to use computers or not: they can't do their jobs without them. Computers of the 21st century are no doubt faster than the ones that came before them. They are also no doubt much smaller and better looking. Unfortunately they are also very powerful and therefore need powerful fans to cool them down. This means they are often more noisy than their predecessors. One way of solving this is to construct a dedicated server room. A much cheaper solution is to acquire Soundproof Server Cabinets & Enclosures.
It has been proven that continuous exposure to noise creates a stressful situation for workers. This in the end leads to a drop in productivity and higher than average absence from work. The European Directive for Noise Reduction tries to address this by forcing employers to take steps if noise levels are of such a nature that employees have to talk to each other in raised voices when they are two meters apart.
In a perfect world we would simply replace noisy equipment with ones emitting less noise. When it comes to computers and server rooms this is unfortunately not always possible
Luckily that inventive solutions does exist. Soundproof server cabinets place the server in an air-conditioned, insulated enclosure. It does not completely get rid of all server noise, but it does bring it down to a level that shouldn't be heard above the usual office background noise.
Your business will obviously save a lot of money by not having to construct a separate server room and you will also be able to use existing space a lot better. The silent server cabinets are quite mobile and can be easily moved to other locations, so at the end of the day it's also a solution that offers more flexibility than a server room.
Another major pro of the server cabinet solution is that, because they are air-conditioned, your servers will never overheat and therefore last much longer. The only other alternative is to have an air-conditioned room for the servers, which will also chase up your electricity bill much more than the server cabinets would.
Soundproof Server Cabinets & Enclosures provide a space-age solution to a space-age problem. It is very cost effective compared to the alternatives. It is also highly practical and will ensure a more productive work force and increased longevity for your computer systems.
