Intelligent Containment Data Center
Normalize IT equipment intake air temperature to within a few degrees of the supply air temperature with this intelligent containment solution
Opengate Rack-Based and Row-Based Intelligent Containment solutions stabilize IT intake air temperature to within a few degrees of the supply air temperature at all points in your data center. This flexible data center cooling solution enables you to scale IT load without disruption and control all aspects of your cooling circuit.
Opengate Intelligent Containment is an automated containment solution that eliminates all hot aisles, allows water to reside at the perimeter or outside the IT floor and significantly reduces noise levels.
AWARD Winning Solution
Opengate is the 2010 ASHRAE Technology Award Recipient & 2011 Uptime Institute Green IT Award Winner
Containment Cooled Data Center Benefits
Contain all the IT heat and get it back to the perimeter or central air handlers to prevent contamination of the cool supply air
Reclaim wasted cooling in retrofit aplications while IT continues to operate
Keep water outside or at the facility perimeter
Deploys quickly and cost effectively
Flexible and scalable intelligent containment system that adapts to IT load changes
Maximize Free Cooling
Maximize rack and room density with thermal stability even on slab floors
Containment Cooled Data Center Versus Ceiling Grate (non-chimney) Return
Maximize rack and room density with thermal stability - even on slab floors
Intelligent Cooling Distribution
The following row-based intelligent containment diagram used in the Department of Energy’s DCEP (Data Center Energy Practitioner) training program demonstrates;
A) 100% of the heat is contained and returned to the permiter cooling units
B) Total return airflow is equal to server intake airflow
C) All airflow is aggregated and information delivered to the building management system or directly to the cooling unit so that the proper airflow for the data center can be supplied.
Intelligent cooling distribution allows up to 30 kW per rack and provides a perfectly controlled environment.

Quick Integration & Reporting
Deploy racks, install Intelligent Containment in minutes and quickly trim ceiling. Add racks to the row as needed. Multiple rack heights and sizes only effect Intelligent Containment position and exhaust duct length. Connect to power and system automatically operates to factory set parameters. Connect to network and simply browse to device to set-up email, SNMP and alarm thresholds.
Simple integration with most physical infrastructure. Example shown is a high density installation in a low sab-to-slab high rise building with overhead cable trays.
