Cloud Data Center and Artificial Intelligence Systems
Cloud data center installations are growing fast with accelerated adoption of artificial intelligence and the integration of smart functionality and connectivity across most industries. Preference for convenience, flexibility, speed, mobility and responsiveness is driving device performance and functionality that creates vast amounts of data to transmit and store. Cloud compute stores, processes, networks and analyzes all this data and digital functionality. Consumer trends and innovation have made cloud compute increasingly intrinsic to how businesses operate, and consumers run their lives. Cloud powers modern society.
Maximize Air Cooling Efficiency
Enhance data center energy efficiency and thermal system performance by optimizing cooled air use and hot air exhaust in air cooled systems with innovative data center cooling systems. FR V-0 Air blockers made of SOLIMIDE® polyimide foam block air and insulate noise with unique differentiated characteristics like high temperature resistance, flame resistance, non-toxicity, extreme low density and weight. Air leak seals and air gap fillers prevent cool air loss, remove design pockets that trap cool or hot air, and connect internal airflow pathways. Air baffle assemblies commonly feature flame rated FR V-0 electrically insulating materials that are thermoformed or folded into airflow management channels and ducting which manage flow bypass, altering airflow inside the server to efficiently direct cold air to heat sinks.
Lower Total Cost of Data Center Ownership
Integrated solutions minimize or remove waste, maintenance costs and downtime for an overall lower total cost of data center ownership.
Iterate Designs Quickly and Accelerate Speed to Market
Customer-first service with market leading speed and responsiveness combined with decades of thermal design expertise and robust, proprietary modeling tools enable Boyd to iterate designs quickly and accelerate speed to market.
Responsive Global Localization
Boyd moves with our customers as their regional needs evolve in response to geopolitical changes, strategy shifts in region sourcing, near-shoring or global manufacturing moves.
Sealing and Shielding Cloud Data Centers
Boyd’s data center cooling systems enable air ducting and air flow management solutions, like thermoformed baffles, improving traditional air-cooled system efficiency. Prevent device or assembly overheating or premature failure from lost or decreased airflow velocity that reduces heat sink efficiency with FR-V0 rated electrically insulating air flow baffles. Boyd offers several additional air blocking, air shielding, gasket, and air diverter material options optimized for sealing force and compression force deflection to optimize cool air use in an enclosure, including Boyd’s high performance polyimide foam SOLIMIDE®, nitrile, EPDM, polyurethane, and silicone foams. Enclosure, housing, and environmental seals are a critical need and constant challenge for enterprise systems to protect against dust and water ingress or other contaminants. Boyd foam and mesh air filters protect sensitive components from particle and dust build up that hinders performance and may cause failures. These leak-sealing foams and gaskets prevent air leakage and optimize airflow, enabling the data center cooling systems to operate at peak performance.
Increase Efficiency and Reliability
Create Safer Data Centers
Boyd’s solutions consider the full data center environment, offering quiet solutions that reduce environmental noise pollution for safer data center operations.
Insulating UL Labels and Overlays
Enterprise computing systems incorporate a surplus of components and subsystems that require clear identification to preserve peak functionality and performance. Boyd’s custom warning labels, regulatory graphics, complex graphic overlays, system information labels, flame retardant cable management solutions, and serialized identification labels aid in the organization of any size data center facility from world class hyperscale computing centers to smaller edge computing sites. Informational and dielectric overlays designed and printed on UL-rated electrically-insulating raw materials aid in UL testing, approval, and traceability. Improve traceability of your hardware by manufacturing and assembling with Boyd UL 969 compliant warning and regulatory labels. Increase the organization of Input/output network cables, wires, and hoses for liquid cooling systems with Boyd’s comprehensive hook and loop cable management systems.
Data Center Noise and Vibration Mitigation
In addition to environmental contaminants, noise and vibration, electricity, and complex internal electronic components can reduce reliability and system integrity, increasing maintenance fees and system downtime. Boyd’s comprehensive protecting solutions improve data center, networking and connectivity system performance and maximize uptime by mitigating noise and vibration propagation, improving electronic signal integrity, improving electrical shock protection and fire safety by blocking spark voltage inside an enclosure V-0 flame rated dielectric insulators.
Data Storage Dampers and Server Sealing
Improve cloud data center system performance and reliability with greater read-write accuracy and speed as well as protection against data center operational environments. Boyd’s solutions dampen vibration and absorb shock from both mechanical and acoustic sources like system operation, sound, and traditional air cooling systems with many moving parts operating at high rotational speeds. We are experts in managing enterprise noise, vibration and harshness as well as hard disk drive damping. Server chassis must also be sealed and shielded against water or dust ingress, electromagnetic interference, LED crosstalk, and spark voltage for operational peak performance and system uptime.
