Cold aisle containment reduces power consumption and boosts company morale
The colocation provider transformed its power consumption overnight.
Soon after transforming 4,500 sq ft of office space into a new cold aisle containment (CAC) solution colocation provider, Hostirian, set a date to begin moving customers into their new environment.
One of the first customers located in Hostirian’s legacy data center was deployed in open racks without an airflow strategy. They were integrated into the new contained environment late on a Friday night in September 2012. By early Saturday morning, that same customer, operating the identical IT load and equipment, was using 50% less power. From there, a new company initiative was born.
