"We were approached by one of our clients with a noise problem in their compact office environment. They were sharing the main office with 5 x 1U Intel servers, 1 x 2U Intel storage server and an Adaptec NAS unit, and the noise was so loud it was distracting them from their work!
"We suggested the client isolate the noisy equipment inside a 24U soundproofed cabinet and I was sent to install the server rack. Having completed the installation and switched on the power, I asked the client what they thought of the result. The response was, '...it looks very nice, but how loud is it going to be?' The quiet server rack was so effective that the client had not realised that the units were already turned on!"
Max Benson Technical Manager, Freehand Ltd, UK
"We have a small office and after introducing a new server the noise it generated became a problem. We either needed to build a separate room for the server of find a way to quieten it down. A new room wasn't an option due to space and cost so after an internet search we contacted Acousti uncertain about the best way to achieve this. Acousti offered an honest appraisal of what their products could do, which of them met our needs best and also offered good value for money. We took their advice and the result is perfect, we have now regained our office, improved morale and can talk business again."
John Allen, Geoplex Limited
"Our new open plan office became almost uninhabitable after the delivery of our new Dell rack-mount server - we had not considered how loud the server's cooling fans would be. Our supplier had provided us with a steel and glass cabinet which provided absolutely no sound insulation. The Acousti Products cabinet completely transformed our working environment - the cabinet dramatically reduces the noise of our server to a whisper... I would recommend this product to anyone who has to share an office with a noisy server".

"Because the IT equipment was in a small room without special air conditioning, in order to keep them cool enough we would need to leave the door open all the time. This meant that the main office would become noisy due to the noise from IT equipment filtering through the open door, making it fairly uncomfortable for staff members sitting near the door. The quiet cabinets have made this area of the office a lot quieter even though there is no longer a wall between the IT equipment and office staff; they also keep the equipment cool enough so that we never need to open the server cabinet doors thereby compromising the noise reducing effects of the cabinets."
Paul De Margin, C.E. Europe Ltd, UK
"Great product, works as expected, critical to me being able to use the server. I have my server, an Apple, but for your product, the noise would be intolerable."
Sebastian Nokes, Aldersgate Partners LLP, UK
"The level of service was above the competitors - quick reply-time in all our inquiries made us choose Acousti Products. And our new noise product solution has improved our working environment a lot."
Petri Halonen, Atomi Advertising Ltd, Finland
"The cabinets have gone beyond our expectations. The noise reducing effects have enabled staff to happily conduct daily business while sitting very near to the cabinets and the fans successfully keep the equipment cooler than it was while in the much larger server room they were moved from."
Paul De Marigny, C.E.Europe Ltd
"Exactly what we needed"
Simon Gray, Antiphony, UK

"Since the arrival of our new acoustic racks, things are very different in the office. We no longer have to raise our voices to communicate, or leave the room to discuss issues of importance."
Brandon Farr, William Morris Sixth Form College, UK
"Solved ALL issues - noise, general appearance and heat"
John Allen, Geoplex Ltd, UK
"The office is a lot quieter, we can now talk without shouting"
