That sounds to me like isolation from local equipment vibrations, such as
fans in the same rack, or an air conditioning air handler that was bolted
to the same room structure.  Your assessment should be correct that that
type of suspension could not provide isolation in the deep sub-Hz region
that you say you are interested in.
