Geist SwitchAir Airflow Cooling System

The Geist SwitchAir Airflow Cooling System is an innovative solution designed to enhance the cooling efficiency of your network equipment. In typical data center setups, network switches, routers, and load balancers are often positioned in ways that hinder the flow of cool air necessary for optimal operation. The SwitchAir system effectively channels cool air from the front to the air intakes of your network devices, regardless of their mounting position, significantly reducing the risk of overheating and prolonging the lifespan of your valuable equipment.

• Efficient Airflow Management: The SwitchAir system is meticulously crafted to channel cool air directly from the front of the rack to the air intakes of your network equipment, ensuring optimal cooling efficiency and performance.
• Prevention of Equipment Overheating: By directing cold air precisely where it’s needed, the SwitchAir helps reduce the chances of your network switches and routers overheating, thus minimizing the risk of failure.
• Enhanced Equipment Longevity: The cooling system mitigates the likelihood of premature equipment failure caused by high intake temperatures, extending the useful life of your network devices and protecting your investment.
• Improved Operational Efficiency: The SwitchAir provides network equipment with the same cold aisle temperature as other devices in the rack, significantly enhancing overall operational effectiveness and performance.
• Reduction of Hot Air Recirculation: This system helps decrease wrap-around hot airflow from the hot aisle to the cold aisle, especially in setups where blanking panels are absent, ensuring a consistent and reliable cooling environment.
