Airflow management is a vital part of keeping modern data centers operating at peak performance.
Airflow Management Awareness Month seeks to highlight that importance and educate data center operators
on how they can make changes on many different levels that add up to real savings on energy costs.
We are committed to providing excellent data center cooling products and tools. As part of our dedication to the science and art of data center cooling optimization, we offer timely and insightful research which addresses the demands and trends related to cooling optimization and cooling management. We also recommend industry-recognized best practices and solutions for maintaining data center cooling best practices.

KoldLok is the industry standard for sealing raised-floor data centers. Designed to limit bypass airflow by efficiently sealing openings in raised floors.
Our line of rack airflow management products, specifically designed to control intake airflow in server racks. Our award-winning blanking panels are considered the 'best-fitting' in the industry.
Our modular containment solution and line of aisle airflow management products are specifically designed to block airflow, ensuring hot and cold aisle separation.
Ensuring there’s no wasted cooling is vital. Accurate control of the airflow through KoldLok Grommets allows us to consider energy-savings strategies such as increasing CRAC set points.
After having hands-on experience with nearly every available product on the market, HotLok is by far the superior choice. Not only does it create the best seal, but its universal mounting system and finger grips make it the easiest to use and reuse.
We have looked and looked for a solution like KoldLok. If KoldLok had been around ten years ago, we probably would not have needed to add a cooling unit back then. It improves the efficiency of our cooling system a great deal.
Managing cooling in your data center is a holistic process. We've developed a methodology which we call the 4R's of Airflow Management which addresses the specific needs of aisle containment, floor containment, hot aisle containment and then monitoring of the facility. Each part of the 4R's addresses particular needs which build upon each other and enhance the effectiveness of cooling optimization efforts.

Data center cooling is one of the most important aspects of data center design and operation. With the increasing density of IT equipment, both effectively and efficiently cooling IT loads is becoming more challenging than ever. For air cooled equipment, effective...
Is managing airflow management redundant or superfluous or perhaps overly scrupulous? Nervously risking a loose biblical association, I would merely point out that …in the beginning… airflow management was a means for reducing data center equipment hot spots. The...
Adhering to airflow management best practices can reduce required airflow volume and allow you to increase cooling unit set points, lowering energy fan costs, lowering chiller energy costs, and increasing free cooling hours. Server Virtualization Server virtualization...
