Case Study 1
Anyone that has worked in close proximity to a noisy server will know the importance and invaluable peace that can be provided by a soundproof enclosure. Without them, the simplest of tasks become difficult and concentration levels within the office can nosedive if your working environment is disturbed by noisy equipment.
As a business owner, I can speak from personal experience and know how frustrating it can be trying to motivate distracted staff, so when presented with this problem, I researched various solutions to my dilemma. Looking online I thought that I was going to have no choice but to pay to rehouse the server in its own room, which considering the space and expense was a daunting prospect, however a bit more searching and I found the answer to my prayers in the UCoustic soundproof enclosure.
Not knowing too much about the technology behind soundproof enclosures, I can't give you a break down of how it works but I can definitely confirm that it does! Initially I was skeptical, it surely couldn't make that much of a difference, I thought, but I was amazed at the drastic reduction in noise levels as soon as it was installed. I can vouch for its sleek design and undeniable results; the UCoustic cab boasts a reduction of 28.5dBA within an office environment, which to the layman means you cannot hear the server while its running!
The benefits of the UCoustic soundproof enclosure are:
I couldnt be happier with my UCoustic cabinet as I have seen nothing but positive results since its installation. My staff find it much easier to concentrate without the distraction of the server noise and their productivity has improved as a result, leaving a harmonious, efficient working environment. It is also a fraction of what it would have cost me to convert an area of the office into a dedicated server room and thanks to the reliability and quality of construction, maintenance costs are nonexistent! For my business and my staff I think that it would be very difficult to go back and couldnt be happier with the UCoustic soundproof enclosure, which has helped to maximise the officespace, improved the working environment and the morale of their staff in one fell swoop!

Case Study 2
Noisy office based server? - a sound solution!
I hadn't realised the problems I was about to introduce to our office working environment when we deployed some active equipment - servers, switch etc. - into our office to maximise space and convenience of access. Instead of the compact modern set up I'd envisaged what resulted was a major source of what I could only call noise pollution, which in turn created distractions, a lack of concentration, headaches, earaches and basically not the most pleasant or professional of environments in which to work to full potential.
I couldn't believe something so basic a necessity in a modern office could be such a problem. Due to the equipment we had and the nature in which it was configured it would have been a costly exercise to relocate to another part of the building not to mention the additional rent this would attract. My unhappy staff were also quoting EU working environment noise level regulations at me so I knew I had to do something before this got out of hand.
After some serious internet research I discovered that there were solutions out there for this very problem in the form of soundproof enclosures. Result!
There are several solutions available on the market all of which I looked into closely as there is a dramatic difference in price and I didn't want to pay for something which wouldn't fix the problem satisfactorily. Having looked and had demonstrated to me at all the features and benefits of the soundproof enclosures out there I opted in the end for a UCoustic cabinet, (check them out on www.usystems.co.uk) which boasts the best sound attenuation on the market by far, but if I'm honest I chose it ostensibly for its looks!
I must say I am extremely happy with the results as are my staff who are now able to concentrate on their work as we no longer have any noise distraction from any of our equipment housed in the cabinet, it's virtually silent. We also managed to enclose other equipment in the cabinet resulting in a tidier office, less wires lying around making us look and feel more professional in our surrounds.
If you're looking for a soundproof enclosure and you have the time to shop around do so, if you don't take my advise and opt for a UCoustic, they outperform the others I've had demonstrated and they're so stylish they've become a feature in our workspace.
