 THE GEIST ADVANTAGE

  • Maintain a perfectly controlled environment for your network switches
  • Achieve the greatest degree of data center cooling efficiency for network switches and routers with                              effective cool air delivery for network switches with carying air flow patterns
  • Resolves a critical issue plaguing data centers while reducing operating costs
  • Installs quickly without disrupting network operations
  • Rapid return on investment; typically les than 3 months
  • Stabiizes switch intake temperature within a few degrees of the rack front intake air temperature
  • Continually delivers required cool air
  • Delivers cool air from outside the rack front to rear mounted switches without hot air contamination
  • Enables placing switch inside the rack, even with high-heat loads generated by energy efficient servers

In order to reduce energy consumption by data centers and provide greater flexibility in facility operations, in 2008 ASHRAE increased the acceptable intake temperature for Datacom Equipment to 80.6◦F (27◦C). While this operational shift has provided significant efficiency gains, it has also increased the number of network operation failures caused by insufficient switch cooling.

Geist’s Network Switch Cooling units eliminate these heat related failures by strategically targeting this problem area.

Placing network switch ports facing the rear of rack where server port density resides is convenient and simplifies network cabling. Therefore switches commonly utilize side air intake which is different than the rest of the equipment in the rack. These devices allow cool air from the cabinet front to be delivered to the rear mounted switches. The cooling for the rest of the rack isn’t ideal for rear mounted network switches.
