Computer Cooling Systems

Antec, Belkin, Brocade, Chenbro, Cisco, Cooler Master, Corsair, Fractal Design, HP, Intel, and StarTech.com are among the many production companies that produce cooling systems. Companies such as HP and Intel produce cooling systems that are made specifically for their computers and workstations; agencies would likely benefit more by matching brands if their network is homogeneous. If an agency has many different kinds of workstations, then it has the freedom to choose among the more precise and efficient systems from smaller production companies like Supermicro, Targus, Thermaltake Technology, Thermapak, Tripp Lite, and Zalman USA.

A computer cooling system should create airflow throughout the workstation to dissipate the heat from the unit. Computer cooling systems should include heat sinks, fans, liquid cooling units, or USB fans depending on the type of system being protected. Government and educational offices should also consider purchasing more powerful types of cooling systems for remote access devices such as notebooks and laptops; these units have a much higher propensity to overheat than larger mainframe desktop and server units.Close
