Industry NewsWe'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." "Telco Throws out the datacenter rule book, The conventional wisdom regarding datacenter design and efficiency does not always add up, reckons BT", IT Week, November 5, 2007 http://www.itweek.co.uk/itweek/analysis/2202829/telco-throws-datacentre-3602534 "Powys County Council is cutting electricity use in its data centers by 75 per cent with virtualization software that reduces server numbers from 80 to four," Computing, September 13, 2007 http://www.computing.co.uk/computing/analysis/2198566/case-study-powys-county-council

What They Say About Us 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 "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. |
