Free-standing containment delivers a self-supporting aisle enclosure that stands independently on the data-center floor, eliminating structural reliance on the building’s shell and simplifying installation. This means you can deploy full corridor containment before racks are in place, or add cabinets in phases over time.
Features and Benefits
Cabinets anchor directly to the free-standing frame, eliminating the need for slab drilling or structural modifications. This dramatically speeds up installation time, reduces labor, and simplifies deployment.
The floor-mounted design supports all containment components- walls, roof panels, sliding doors, cable trays, and busways, without relying on the building’s shell. This design is suitable when ceiling or slab anchoring is impractical.
Due to its modular, self-supporting nature, free-standing containment scales efficiently for large-scale, high-growth environments. This makes it well suited for hyperscale data centers or facilities expecting phased expansion.
Legrand designs free-standing containment solutions to be compatible with our T and T6 cabinet platforms , enabling installations that meet seismic standards. This is a critical feature for data centers in high-risk zones where structural stability is essential.
Containment Solutions
The Contain-IT FLEX system is comprised of stock components that are assembled to create containment systems. The components can be assembled on site to create hot or cold aisle containment supported by the cabinet and/or ceiling.
Our pre-fabricated solutions are pre-cut and assembled to save time on-site. The system is pre-configured to create hot or cold aisle containment, supported by the cabinet and/or ceiling.
This solution captures many requirements typically placed on the building shell and places it closer to the equipment. This includes busway, conveyance, docking, and other ancillary items. Seismic-rated solutions are available.
