How It Works


Carbon fiber is the best material to address the types of vibration that degrades storage performance. Used correctly in the rack structure, it dissipates a wide range and level of frequencies known to affect hard disk drives.

Why Carbon Fiber Composites?

Carbon fiber is an engineered material that can be specifically designed to solve highly technical problems. It is very effective at addressing vibration caused by mechanical devices during operation.

Key attributes of carbon fiber:

  •     -Very strong and stiff: stronger and stiffer than steel, yet 30% lighter than aluminum

  •     -Superior damping compared to other structural materials

  •     -An-isotropic properties: very strong along the fiber length

  •     -Highly customized for specific usage

The Green Platform design and implementation covers the critical frequency range for hard disk drives used in servers and storage. It provides a zone of protection.
