Rackmount Solutions (RS) has introduced a new range of sound proof data cabinets & server racks.
The new products are aimed at addressing heat and noise issues face by modern data centre operators.
RS's UCoustic 9210 series of soundproof server cabinets guarantee to reduce noise and heat when compared with standard server cabinets.
According to the firm, the new cabinets can reduce server noise by as much as 28.5 decibels, the equivalent of a soft whisper at three feet.
The company said: "[Server noise] seriously reduces productivity, creates stress as employees strive to do their work and increases workman compensation claims.
"The UCoustic server cabinet reduces active server room equipment noise."
Meanwhile, companies have been warned against getting the wrong server racks for their business, as full cabinets can be difficult to cool.
According to ameinfo.com, vendors are creating servers that require 40kW of cooling per rack and many devices can only provide 2kW.
