As an IT administrative professional working around the server room or its vicinity can drive you up the wall with the constant growling of servers in your head. Thanks to soundproof rack cabinets, that sound level can be now reduced to a to a mere whisper, and just in case you are wondering that sound is buzz and vibration from the inbuilt cooling fans, which Acousti rack manufacturers have made a thing of the past. In an environment where you have the benefit of sound proof server racks, the only thing you will hear is your own heartbeat.
The cooling fans earlier mentioned are of course an integral part of the servers and other electronic equipment that is housed in there. When the fans collect dust on them they are forced to work even harder and thus generate even more heat and noise. If they are cleaned on a periodic basis you will of course control that intensity of noise. To begin with the server rack enclosure needs to be designed out of thick metal sheet and built sturdy. There should be almost no gaps that even ensuring the passage of air in or out. Soundproof enclosures are an economic alternative to hosting equipment in settings such as receptions, offices, waiting rooms and retail stores. Positioning noisy server equipment in public halls and office spaces is oftentimes unavoidable but is a constant disturbance to the workspace and a cause of increased stress level in the people working around these servers. Furthermore it might be the only place you can place the equipment, in which case you are best off getting a sound proof enclosure. Server hardware sounds will drop by 15 dB with and average enclosure but with a superior quality sound proof server cabinet 31dB of noise is cut out. The inlaid multilayer composite dampens the sound even before it can vibrate further. In doing so the enclosure still ensures the safety of the expensive IT equipment by also have an effective cooling system, inbuilt. Active cooling is critical to an acoustic rack as temperatures rise, and it is a necessity to protect other equipment like UPS switches and panels. With the sound proof enclosure you can rest assured; your equipment is safe from any tampering because you can actually lock both front and back doors. In today’s IT environment space is at a premium, so rather than creating a separate room for your servers of rack you would save a bundle on having just one sound proof enclosure that occupies only a fraction of the space as compared to a separate room. Further you can have all your equipment installed in a short while because the sound proof server enclosures are preassembled and delivered. If you were to set up a separate server room you would also be looking at increase in maintenance costs. The enclosure design and the acoustic material that dampens sound make all the difference. On your list of priorities should be the soundproofing techniques and materials used for it, the airflow and cooling aspects for efficient function, and cable management for all the connectivity it requires.
Getting a good sound proof server enclosure is and investment and needs careful consideration of the quality of the rack you are investing in. The material of the rack itself needs to be heavy duty sturdy steel, and the sound dampening material needs to be carefully selected. Acoustic rack cabinets can be made to a fantastic range of exterior finishing and blend in with your décor. The greatest benefit of the multi-faceted acoustic enclosure is it fits into you décor without depriving you of valuable space, which is always at a premium.
