Power & Cooling




RedLegg will work with you to determine the right combination for your unique environment.  When looking at data center power and cooling solutions there are some main options to consider.


  • Room Oriented – This is a standard cooling option that many organizations take advantage of.  It is much like the cooling feature you would find in a typical room.  One or more AC units are distributing cool air through a duct system to lower the temperature of the entire room. 
  • Row Oriented – This type of cooling mounts AC units either directly above or below the equipment racks, and can be adjusted to the needs of each row.  Air flow is greatly improved compared to Room-Oriented cooling and allows the units to operate more efficiently.
  • Rack Oriented – These cooling systems are dedicated to specific racks and are mounted within each rack.  This allows the best direct air flow to remove the hot air exhaust.  This option is best used with high density blade servers to help eliminate hot spots.
  • Mixed Cooling Design – The most effective cooling design will deploy a combination of all of the above options.  These mixed environments allow organization the flexibility to add additional equipment without greatly impacting the room’s cooling system.
