Did you know when the intake temperature is above the optimal range, your network gear can experience a 54% higher failure rate? Vertiv Geist SwitchAir provides a path for cool air to travel to the intake of top-of-rack network switches in a typical hot aisle/ cold aisle data center design. SwitchAir lets you take control of your critical network equipment to improve the life expectancy and reduce the chance of premature failure ultimately resulting in costly unplanned downtime.

Network switches, load balancers and routers typically sit at the top and back portion of the rack, away from the cold aisle airflow at the front of the cabinet. This placement makes it difficult for cold air to flow from the front of the rack to the air intakes of the network switch equipment, increasing chances of failure over time. SwitchAir helps prevent failure by channeling cool air from the front of the rack to the air intakes regardless of where the equipment is mounted.
