Geist SA1-01001NB SwitchAir 1U Network Switch Cooling

Overview

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.
