Data Centre Special Report
Data Centre Managers need up to date knowledge of effective cooling techniques. Data integrity and energy conservation depend on it.
Aisle containment is widely regarded as a key tool in air flow management for efficient cooling. But what approaches are the most effective in achieving effective cold aisle containment?
Dataracks teamed up with GEA Denco to run a trial to find out.

The eCool Approach
Dataracks’ eCool methodology results in rapid payback outcomes by using state-of-the-art airflow management techniques to keep IT equipment consistently cool.
eCool makes it possible to maintain a consistent temperature, overcoming the problems of humidity, static and condensation, and reducing equipment failure.
eCool solutions
- Maintain constant temperature within manufacturers’ parameters
- Help maintain temperature in the event of a cooling failure - providing additional time to rectify the fault
- Can be retrofitted in a live environment
- Are independent of enclosure manufacturer
- Can be installed by any engineer with industry experience
Benefits of eCool solutions
- Saves money though significant reduction in energy consumption (typically 15% ++)
- Increases resilience and cuts downtime and equipment failures
- Cuts hardware costs by reducing need for standby equipment such as chillers and CRAC
- Reduces carbon dioxide emissions
Benefits from an eCool installation can typically be seen in less than one hour! And payback time can be as little as a few weeks.
Customer Satisfaction
Our four-step approach to guaranteed client satisfaction:
- First we undertake a temperature and power survey and energy review to establish the scope for savings and improvements in efficiency
- A more detailed examination of your existing or planned data centre operation allows us to draw up detailed plans and provide you with a fully costed proposal
- We use the latest design techniques and our years of practical experience to resolve the trickiest of issues and develop bespoke solutions to your individual requirements
- We manufacture or source all racks and components either from our UK factory or from your choice of equipment vendor.
