Prevent overheating of network switches by directing cool air to switch intakes, keeping hot exhaust air out. Keep your switches cool with Geist.
Network switches, load balancers, and routers deployed in data centers today are often mounted in the back of server racks. This configuration can be convenient for cabling purposes, but allows hot exhaust air from servers to enter the switch intake, leading to decreased life expectancy of switches or even switch failure if the problem is not handled properly.
Geist’s SwitchAir is the only product on the market today that provides a tailor-made solution for this problem. Geist’s Passive SwitchAir units create a barrier to effectively prevent hot exhaust air from entering switch intakes. To take a more direct approach, deploy our Active SwitchAir line, which uses fans to supply cooled air from the cold aisle directly to switch intakes.
Geist’s SwitchAir provides cooling solutions for a wide range of switches and airflow configurations. Check our SwitchAir Finder to see if we have an existing solution for your needs. If you can’t find your switch, contact us to discuss more options.
Tailor-Made
The SwitchAir product is suitable for cooling a wide variety of switch models and airflow configurations. Geist has the expertise to reconfigure custom brackets to fit any unusual situation and can even provide channel kits that would eliminate the need for switch rails.
Flexibility
Install the SwitchAir product without interrupting power to critical equipment. Geist also provides an array of accessory kits to maximize cooling efficiency. Add accessories, such as brush strips, for multiple cord configurations to switches and seal new and existing openings.
