The high level of noise generated by server racks is one of the main obstacles in companies adopting high-performance computing (HPC) in offices, one firm has claimed.
According to Colfax, businesses are sceptical about employing HPC technology due to the noise associated with server racks, however the organisation claims it has found a solution to the problem.
The company claims the Active Noise Control system from Silentium can significantly reduce the amount of noise generated by server racks, by transmitting an "anti-noise" signal which "destructively interferes" with the original sound.
Yossi Barath, chief executive officer at Silentium, said the technology, along with Colfax's Quiet Compute Cluster, will prove appealing to firms.
"We expect that combining the breakthrough noise-cancelling technology of Silentium with Colfax Quiet Compute Cluster will deliver a compelling solution to meet the demands of quiet supercomputing," he stated.
The company claims to be a high-tech business specialising in developing innovative noise-reduction products and solutions.
