Many data centers are not adequately equipped to handle the additional cooling requirements for high-density equipment. This is resulting in undesirable conditions such as recirculation or mixing of hot and cool air, poorly controlled humidity and costly wasted cooling capacity. The Opengate EC Data Center allows maximum data center efficiency while effectively controlling your data center thermal environment. Opengate EC dynamically scales to the IT load, providing real-time cooling consumption detail while maintaining exact control of your cooling supply based on the actual IT cooling demand.
Today’s Data Center plans to build new or retrofit existing space requires planners and stakeholders to keep facility costs at a minimum while providing an efficient and green facility. Because customers occupying data center space will have varying requirements, the cooling solution must be highly flexible as well as scalable to help promote faster break even status. A system must allow quick deployment, automation for cooling operation and maximum efficiency as these effect cash flow for the IT operation.
Containment Cooling reduces total cost of ownership by addressing three areas that impact data center profitability; energy consumption, real estate utilization and operational overhead. Opengate technology automates cooling within the data center regardless of the density or location of the IT equipment and without the manual overhead typically required to maintain a safe thermal environment. By automating and managing the cooling, Opengate systems eliminate over-supply, increase performance of the CRAC/AHU, improve chiller plant performance and extend free cooling hours. Performance is independent of cooling supply methodology or room design.

Opengate is a trusted leader for intelligent-distributed power and cooling. We’re providing integrated systems for designers and managers that maximize rack and real estate utilization as well as improve operational efficiency for high-density computing. Take an intelligent path and gain freedom to effectively and efficiently deploy high density racks anywhere.
