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.
