tell me/us if you consider noise reduction to be "green" Absolutely not. The environmental message behind "green" is very widely accepted to ultimately boil down to sustainability and greenhouse gas emissions - whether it be through elimination of materials like mercury or lead from manufacturing p...

I have this weird concept of actually wanting to hear feedback so we can improve our products... and where best to find this feedback than a forum full of people concerned with noise. Call me crazy, but I would guess that people on this forum have more interest in helping a company to produce better...

b Green Smart thought noise reduction for computer equipment counts as "green" because noise is a form of pollution. Have a look at this interview about the XRackPro2 and tell me/us if you consider noise reduction to be "green" and if so, how quiet do you think a rack that reduces noise needs to be ...

There is a server rack review at http://weblog.infoworld.com/yager/archives/2008/05/ahead_of_the_cu_3.html . It looks like someone hacked Info World and took down our review (and just our review page only...hmmm); luckily the same review is posted on the Australian Sister web site TechWorld : http:...

Thank you, Ken To me servers are meant, by design, to be in their own room. so why bother? (there are threads in the test forum with thousands of views ;) ) ...

Any talk of SPCR staff testing the same hardware in a standard rack and one in a XRackPro2? 8) I/we would like a review of the XRackPro2, does the staff monitor this section close enough that they would answer us? There is a server rack review at http://weblog.infoworld.com/yager/archives/2008/05/a...

As a side note--I'm in the IBEW on the low voltage side, and if you can make more of the comm closets we go into quieter, that's always appreciated. Though we get into bigger stuff a lot, building the 4 or 2 post racks themselves, or if the cabinets are used they are generally part of the "system" ...

It was JamesG who put his stuff in a rack (i only remember because that's my name too). I work in an educational based radio station at my high school, and we tend to buy "cheaper" racks, to conserve money, but when it comes down to the servers that we once had running, I can't say they were noisy ...

I'm actually a bit interested in some rack mount equipment right now as it happens, but not in the standard server room way. I'm thinking about putting together a system made up of lots of rack mount electronics and computers where the units would sit in a rack around 1m high with a big set of whee...

No surprise that it's a successful product. From the high level description provided on the website, it really looks like a useful piece of gear and I fully plan to look into it further the next time we upgrade our infrastructure. The criticism was intended to be constructive, levity of the Unicorn...

To me servers are meant, by design, to be in their own room. so why bother? (there are threads in the test forum with thousands of views ;) ) In small companies - not always. But larger than 25U? I forget who but someone on here had a smaller rack, maybe a 10U that he used to hold everything. I wou...

As mentioned above, I think the key is that if more than 25U worth of equipment is in use, it is likely that there will also be dedicated server space. Off topic, but more importantly, is the fact that there is simple not enough information on your website to make any sort of reasonable purchasing ...

Hi All, Our company makes the XRackPro2 server rack that reduces noise. The tallest model we currently make is a 25U. We have been debating making a taller cabinet (full height 42U or 45U?) but we do not get enough requests for taller than 25U. I am wondering if there are a lot more interested peopl...

Although our XRackPro2 noise reducing enclosure may be expensive just for air filtration, many people have purchased them just for stopping dust... and they did not care about the noise reduction the XRackPro2 was primarily designed for. We added air filtration to our enclosure cabinets about a year...

Glass, not acrylic, is used for our window of the XRackPro2 noise reducing rack.

I am not an engineer, but the engineers must have good reasons for choosing glass originally and not changing to acrylic in 8 years of production.
