Smart Aisle Cooling Smart Aisle’s cooling algorithm is a control mode that allows iCOM to
manage air flow and cooling capacity independently. It is a server centric solution meaning that it focuses on the inlet temperature to the servers As the environment changes due to server utilization, equipment location changes and outside variables so does the iCOM controller Adapts from no containment, to end containment, to full containment

21
Liebert CRV at Cyber Development, Chicago, IL “We designed our cooling infrastructure with a ‘tri-density’ approach, meaning that we provide enough cooling capacity to allow our customers to triple their density over the life of their deployment. As a customer increases their density over time, they can leverage supplemental, row-based cooling to efficiently and conveniently accommodate growth without sacrificing the benefits of our 2N infrastructure.” Jack Pressman, chief technology officer, Cyber Development Group International
