Hot aisle containment (HAC) takes advantage of the natural properties of warm air rising. The HAC can increase cooling efficiency by 30% or more. By isolating hot exhaust air emitted from server racks, HAC ensures that this hot air returns directly to the computer room air conditioning (CRAC) by funnelling it. This airflow management system improves cooling by preventing hot and cold air from mixing. 1 Hot aisle/cold aisle layout involves lining up server racks in alternating rows with cold air intakes – the fronts of servers – facing each other (the. Hot aisle containment consists of a physical barrier that guides hot exhaust airflow back to the AC return. This comprehensive strategy transforms how server environments handle heat.
[pdf] The Intelligent PDUTM provides network-grade power distribution, remote/local monitoring, and outlet control. While both can provide reliable power distribution to critical IT equipment within a rack or cabinet, intelligent PDUs offer several smart features to help data center. iPower ACU is a 3rd generation of intelligent PDUs design to aid Data Centre power management. The range consists of four models offering various levels of power monitoring and power switching features, and can be manufactured as single, dual or 3-Phase with a choice of socket types and mains lead. What is an Intelligent PDU? While basic PDUs provide simple power distribution and protection against overloads, intelligent PDUs have an embedded processor that controls and manages the advanced features like real-time monitoring, remote management, and analytics.
