Aisle Containment is just a system that is necessary to maintain temperature, humidity and other dust particles away from the data center environment. A setup where the data centers are arranged in parallel and the aisle is maintained as a closed space with a closed roof and doors on either side. The cold air is circulated within the enclosed space while the hot air escapes on the outside. This is the advantage of Cold Aisle Containment which is visibly focused cooling. In theory, both cold and hot aisle containment serves the same purpose, both ensure that the hot and the cold air do not mix up and the data centers are kept in perfect condition and temperature. PVC Strips of good quality is used which ensures no mixing up of hot aisles with those of cold aisles. These PVC Strips are cost effective and completely safe. Many industries have switched to the new form of aisle containment because not only is it cheaper but it also a better choice on the basis of performance. Up to 60% of the cool air flow towards the data center was wasted and they immediately flew towards the air conditioning system but there are newer and improved ways to control the air flow. This technique is not only cost effective; it is also energy efficient and saves power. Records show that up to 50% of the power usage has decreased since the application of the new system. The system is also highly non-flammable and self-extinguishing. This system can be implemented in any establishment that has a higher load of computer systems or server load. Here is an example of a company that recently switched to aisle containment, Facebook. They recently learned their server were getting heated up really quickly and switched to this new and renowned system. They introduced the system with enclosed areas including the roof to contain the area from spewing cool air. Plastic roofs and enclosed doors guaranteed no escaping of the cool air from within the enclosed area. The point was not only to get the cold air flow from not escaping the area but to direct the hot air towards the air conditioner and back where it is necessary. The racks in the front would face each other and draw cold air into the rack to cool the devices. While the rear sides face one another sending out the hot aisle into the hot aisle. It is designed in such a way that the air is free to move on its own.
