ISO-Base™ is a seismic isolation platform that offers unparalleled protection for server racks. Its unique 3D seismic isolation technology effectively absorbs both horizontal and vertical vibrations, ensuring comprehensive protection for IT equipment during earthquakes.
ISO-Base™ simply installs under server racks, eliminating the need for special flooring modifications. Its flexible design allows for easy layout changes.
With over 40,000 systems deployed worldwide and a dominant 70% market share in Japan, ISO-Base™ has proven its reliability during earthquakes, preserving equipment and ensuring operational continuity.
Black Box also offers professional installation services for ISO-Base™. This service is available for a fee. Contact us to learn more about installation possibilities and get a consultation.
Contact UsISO-Base™ has been rigorously tested in simulations replicating the 1995 Great Hanshin earthquake (epicenter distance: 16.5 km; measured seismic intensity: 6.4)
As of May 2020, the improved OCTO-Base™ (ISO-Base™ X2) has replaced
the standard model. The seismic isolation performance remains unchanged.
ISO-Base™ is a cutting-edge seismic isolation platform designed to protect server racks from extreme vibrations during earthquakes.
ISO-Base™ absorbs both horizontal and vertical vibrations using advanced 3D isolation technology, ensuring a 0% rack tip-over rate post-installation.
ISO-Base™ uses a specialized system where ball bearings are secured within a conical plate. This prevents seismic shocks from reaching sensitive internal equipment.
Measurements have shown that seismic acceleration of approximately 1,000 gal is reduced to 200 gal, significantly below NEBS Level 3 standards (250 gal).
ISO-Base™ can be seamlessly installed under new or existing server racks, even while systems remain operational, ensuring no downtime. To explore installation options, contact us here.
In addition to the standard ISO-Base™, the series includes ISO-Base-X2™, designed for high-rise floors with enhanced sway absorption.
