Kell Systems wins 2008 Fast Growth Business Award

March 13, 2008 - Kell Systems, pioneer of Portable Server Environments, the first complete solution for the deployment of servers and network hardware directly in the office workspace, was announced winner of Product of the Year category at last night’s 2008 Fast Growth Business Awards ceremony.

The judges, including Peter Jones, entrepreneur and star of BBC’s Dragons’ Den; Simon Kossoff, MD, Carluccio’s; René Carayol, business guru and TV presenter were particularly impressed by the ingenuity of the product, combined with the fact that it is manufactured exclusively in the UK at Kell Systems’ factory in Somerset bucking the downward trend in UK manufacturing.

Kell Systems fought off strong competition from over 350 other entrants.  The Fast Growth Business Awards recognises the UKs fastest growing businesses and the people running them.

Kell Systems was founded in 2003 by CEO Tim Wash, who identified a need for hot-running, noisy hardware and networking equipment to be located in the open office rather than in dedicated computer rooms.  Portable Server Environments remain the only product in the world of its kind, combining extreme noise reduction and very high thermal capacity with exceptional reliability and office-quality appearance.

The company’s clients include Accenture, Adobe, Boeing, BP, Google, Hertz, Logica, Microsoft, NASA, NATO, Shell and Walt Disney.

With product patents granted in the US, Kell Systems has shown rapid growth since its inception, doubling its turnover year on year.  In 2006 the company expanded internationally opening up offices in Virginia USA, Germany and Spain. The company continues to bring out new products, launching a remote control and management solution in February 2008.

What They Say About Us
"The acoustic cabinet is now fully installed and the performance is terrific! It's greatly improved our office working environment and I'd happily recommend your product to others in the future. Thank you again for your assistance and excellent service."

Quenifer Lee
Director, Asia Pacific, 5+Design

"The soundproofing is extremely effective, and so is the cooling system. There was no floor space or budget for a computer room, so we used a Kell PSE instead. It takes up less floor space, it cost less, and it looks good too.";

Jason Sadler
The Geodata Institute
University of Southampton

"We recently purchased 4 Kell 38U Cabinets for 3 of our regional offices and as you can imagine we are very pleased with the purchases."

Scott Greenwood
IT Infrastructure Project Manager, Money Portal Plc

"The rack we installed was lovely, very easy to work with, and the best bit was having racked all the kit, when we closed the doors finally, absolutely everyone´s head came up because all the noise just vanished. They were most impressed"
Gordon Watson

"The Kell rack was installed, it looks great and does the job, many thanks."

William Fullerton
Systems Administrator, Dialog Semiconductor

Very tight for space in our office, I have two people working in the same room as our computer servers. The new Kell System cabinet has eliminated all high frequency server noise and all we can hear are the low frequency fans. Kind of like the noise of our office central a/c system, nothing more or worse. This is a small room, we have no issue with sound since this cabinet arrived. The build quality is amazing.

Michael J. Kravit, AIA, NCARB, RA
President, Kravit Architectural Associates, Inc.

"When you take into account the cost of demountable partitioning and installing dedicated air conditioning, plus the hardware cost of basic data racks, we estimate that by using Kell's quiet enclosures we save approximately 59% per site, and that’s before taking into account the reduced floor space costs," said Peter Morris, Head of Towergate's property management unit. He adds "We have deployed several of these already and we're exceptionally impressed with the cooling system and the noise reduction performance. We haven't looked back on the decision."

“The soundproofing is so effective that we have staff working just 2 metres away from the fully configured server installation. The server cabinet runs very quietly and looks great, the staff don’t even notice it’s there.” says Marin Cragg, Head of Networking for the National School of Government.
