Field Friendly Walls
Polargy’s Modular Wall is deployed to create demising walls, privacy suites, and cages.
This wall solution is “Designed for Field”. That means it has Easy Constructibility, Removes Field Labor, and is Field Flexible for unexpected conditions or configuration changes.
The component count is low, making the installation simple. As a thumb rule – the Polargy wall requires about 50% of the labor that is required for drywall.
The cage mesh at the top is there so that sprinkler coverage is not obstructed.
The Sliding Doors are available in 4′ and 8′ sizes and have appropriate locking options for access control/security.
The One Hour Install
A huge issue in building data centers is the excessive cost and time it takes to install the containment solutions. Polargy has designed and manufactured the Flat-Pack Hot Aisle Containment solution that relies on the prefabrication of structural panels in order to increase efficiency during installation and reduce costs. Our goal is to change the data center space by promoting cost-effective, energy saving, and simple solutions.
The installation process only requires a four man team and one hour of your time. Because Polargy prefabricates the system as much as possible offsite prior to install, the final assembly is fast and uncomplicated. We are really proud of this new system that can help our customers save time and money.
“See” the Heat
Polargy’s new Highlight Visual Temperature Monitoring Light lets you see hot spots and lets you know when everything is fine with temperature. It’s a color coded light that allows operators to see if the room temperature is OK.
Set your own temperature thresholds for when the Highlight changes from Green to Yellow and from Yellow to Red.

Can You Cool 40kW per Rack?
Yes, 40kW per rack! Polargy’s Cold Aisle Containment was used at ViaWest’s recent Plano Grand Opening to demonstrate the site’s capability to cool high density deployments of up to 40kW per rack. Paul, with our partner USNet, led the installation of Polargy’s Rack Top Baffles and PX Doors. He is standing next to ComRent’s rack mount load banks which produced the 40kW load for each rack. Temperature sensors were placed through out the aisle. These showed that with the 6′ cold aisle on a raised floor and the open top containment design that the server inlet temperatures were properly maintained.
New PX Family of Aluminum Doors
We launched our new, low cost PX Doors last week. These are all aluminum sliding and swing doors that are elegant and simple to install. See more at https://polargy.com/data-center-containment/aisle-end-doors/
Open Top Containment, It Works
With the launch of Polargy’s Rack Top Baffle, the question arises, does partial height containment work. Luckily, one of our customers conducted a CFD analysis on partial height panels and the results were positive. See a 60 second video on those results here: https://vimeo.com/166747303.
Or, see the Rack Top Baffle CFD Study slides on SlideShare.
New Rack Top Baffle2
Today, we are launching our new PolarPlex™ Rack Top Baffle2. This is a new option for cabinet supported containment that provides a significant reduction in both the installation and material costs of deploying open top architectures. The new baffles, with their tool-less installation, offer flexibility and convenience for sites that reconfigure their layouts frequently due to moves, additions, and changes. The baffle’s modular design makes them an economical, quick-to-install solution that can be repurposed through the life of the data center.
I particularly like the Rack Top Baffles because they represent a new class of containment panels that are well-suited for projects where the ROI goals are extremely aggressive. With these baffles operators can achieve a compelling payback on their energy savings projects.
Our baffles are available is standard and custom sizes.
