Industry News

We've carefully identified a number of articles and white papers that we believe will be of interest to those responsible for specifying, managing and maintaining servers, data centers and multi site networks. A particularly interesting read is the findings of research conducted by Google into optimum server operating temperatures. Also there are a number of news articles covering server virtualization put into practice.

"A report issued by Google presenting data collected from detailed observations of a large disk drive population in a production Internet services deployment. The population observed is many times larger than that of previous studies. The report analyzes the correlation between failures and several parameters generally believed to impact longevity."

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"

"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.

"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.
