ABSTRACT:
High energy costs and spiking power consumption rates are forcing IT professionals to consider new cooling strategies, like hot aisle and cold aisle containment. Read on for a comparison of hot aisle and cold aisle containment strategies and learn how implementing a hot aisle containment system (HACS) in your data center can enable the following benefits:
Efficiency: the hot aisle is capable of maintaining higher temperatures, enabling better heat exchange across the cooling coil and improved utilization of the cooling equipment
Improved flexibility: a HACS does not impact the temperature of the surrounding room, so the existing cooling system remains efficient
Higher availability: a HACS only contains hot air, leaving the rest of the data center cool and expanding available runtime
