Aisle containment (hot and cold aisle) in the telecommunications industry

Cold and hot aisle containment are popular solutions for data centres and many other industries, including telecommunications. Wherever there is demand for strong cooling systems to keep cool server and IT equipment, aisle containment can help ensure optimal efficiency, cost and energy savings, and reduced hot spots, meaning IT and server equipment functions for much longer.

This video looks at how a client in the telecommunications industry has achieved significant cost savings and improved power usage effectiveness. The benefits of aisle containment are significant, and Cross-Guard provides both hot aisle and cold aisle solutions. Both work optimally for saving energy required for server/IT cooling, but one vents away hot air and re-uses this air stream, and the other prevents hot air from entering the data aisle, which becomes a reservoir of cold air.
