I was reading an article as I need to buy a network rack. It is going to be close to the main office i.e next door in a prefab broom cupboard which is a bit dusty / damp.
I'm a bit concerned about the servers i) noise and ii) the mild humidity in the broom cupboard.
The article at http://www.commsbuyer.com/Buyers_Gui..._Cabinets.html talked about acoustic cabinets for noise reduction and separately it mentioned IP54 which I understand is a standard to do with tough environments. However I couldn't work out whether there is such a thing as an acoustic IP54 server rack ??
