Case Study: Customers Report AirBlock Data Center Enclosures Pay Off

From Simplex Isolation Systems
 

 

Data centers contain racks of computers used to store and administrate vast amounts of information. Heat generated by these computers routinely reaches levels high enough to cause system failure. To combat this, standard procedure in data centers is to position racks so that computers are front-to-front and back-to-back. Cool air is then vented into the front-to-front rows (referred to as cold-air rows), directed through the racks to cool the computers, and then exhausted out the rear of the rack into the back-to-back rows (known as the hot-air rows). By using these transparent partitions to separate the rows, data center managers keep cold air and warm air from mixing, increasing the efficiency of the operation.
