What's special about this server enclosure?
Overheating and poor air circulation are the main causes of equipment failure inside rack mount enclosures. Many companies utilize specialized air conditioners or water-cooled systems to cool hardworking server equipment, but these methods can be very expensive and just as dangerous if failure or leakage ever occurs. The Lake Effect™ Enclosure from Great Lakes offers the ideal solution for preventing server failure, without the aid of refrigerants or liquids. This enclosure utilizes highly sophisticated, high-performance vanaxial fans (originally designed for the aerospace industry) to provide up to 1224 CFM of directional airflow to the front of servers, helping equipment to stay continuously cool and functional. |
