Benefits
Supports reduced energy costs by providing the opportunity to increase set point temperatures and/or turn off cooling units or reduce fan speeds.
Supports increased reliability and availability of IT equipment by reducing server intake temperatures.
Allows for higher rack densities by preventing hot air recirculation. Flexible design allows the containment system to adapt as the computer room evolves.
Lower initial cost than traditional containment.
Modular design and out-of-the-box installation does not require 3rd party design, engineering, or construction, which minimizes computer room disruption.
Specifications
Designed for 48" (1200mm) wide aisles, but can also provide benefits for wider aisles.
