Implementing a containment solution in the data center costs much less than the alternatives of adding air handlers or other supplemental cooling equipment. Data center managers often configure cabinets in open hot/cold aisles and oversupply the room with cool air to keep equipment at operating temperature ranges. But that hurts efficiency and greatly inflates the energy bill.
