Improved Data Center Efficiency - Incorporating Air Stream Containment

The ever increasing power requirements for new denser servers has created the need for supporting higher density compute platforms within traditional data centers. HP established a test environment for measuring and validating the benefits of cold aisle containment.  Test results show that Cold Aisle Containment (CAC) enables higher density loads, provides a more consistent air supply, and uses mechanical cooling equipment significantly more efficiently.
