Data center environmental control
Data center environmental control is a constructive generic framework for maintaining temperature, humidity, and other physical qualities of air within a specific range in order to allow the equipment housed in a data center to perform optimally throughout its lifespan.
Hot/Cold Aisle Containment
Containment of hot/cold aisles and ducting hot air from cabinets are intended to prevent cool/exhaust air mixing within server rooms. Generally rows of cabinets face each other so that cool air can reach the equipment air intakes at the set temperature point for the room. A more recent addition to the consideration of above floor containment is below floor air flow control. A range of underfloor panels can be fitted within the raised floor plenum to create efficient cold air pathways direct to the raised floor vented tiles.
