Sometimes, sustainable IT is all in the flow. Airflow, that is.
Aisle containment and airflow are crucial for sustainable IT in data centers because they enhance cooling efficiency, reduce energy consumption, and minimize carbon footprints.

Aisle containment and airflow are crucial for sustainable IT in data centers because they enhance cooling efficiency, reduce energy consumption, and minimize carbon footprints.
“With the increase in rack-power density, airflow management technology needs to be upgraded,” reports the journal Heat Transfer Engineering. “The optimal technology and its economic analysis should be carefully discussed to achieve a high rack-power density.”
Schneider Electric's NetShelter Aisle Containment and Active Flow Controller enhance cooling efficiency and reduce energy consumption by up to 40 percent, supporting flexible configurations and sustainable practices for data centers.
"NetShelter Aisle Containment combines airflow intelligence with flexible containment that delivers superior cooling while helping you reduce your carbon footprint,” writes APC by Schneider Electric in its description of this solution.
APC's NetShelter Aisle Containment solutions enhance cooling efficiency, reduce energy costs, and optimize data center performance through modular, customizable designs for improved airflow management.
For solution providers and their customers, NetShelter Aisle Containment solutions:
● Enhance cooling efficiency in data centers
● Reduce overall energy costs
● Optimize the performance of data center operations
● Features modular and customizable designs
● Improve airflow management significantly
● Facilitate easier installation and maintenance
● Support higher-density deployments
● Increase cooling capacity without additional infrastructure
● Provide adaptable configurations for various needs
● Contribute to sustainable and green IT initiatives
But in talking about numbers: aisle containment in the data center can impact energy usage by as much as 10 percent, as APC by Schneider Electric spells out in a video on the subject. Additionally, it gives solution providers the ability to deliver as much as 20 percent more cooling power in a data center without an overhaul while slashing fan energy by as much as 40 percent.
As solutions - including deployment of AI - in data centers begin to grow in deployment, energy efficiency through all approaches will continue to loom large. NetShelter Aisle Containment should be viewed as a strong option for solution providers.
