What is a hot aisle in a computer room
The hot aisle /cold aisle data center layout was originated by IBM in 1992 and it is one of the oldest ways to save energy in the data center. Assuming a computer room is configured in such a way that either is an option, hot aisle containment may be seen as the better option because it has some thermal efficiency and ride-through advantages. However, because every computer room is unique, there is no one definitive solution. The HAC system directs the upward airflow to an AC return system such as a drop-ceiling void. The system simply aligns server fronts (air intakes) toward a shared cold aisle, and backs (exhausts) toward a shared hot aisle. Cold Aisle: Rows of racks face each other, forming a corridor where cool air is directed.

Is it okay to install a network server rack in a room
Any reason why I should NOT put a wall-mount network rack on a shelf within a cabinet? I'm looking to a build a network/server cabinet - but I'll be building it within in-built cabinetry (around 600mm depth).

The only space available where we can install the rack with servers and network gear (4 post rack) is inside the electrical room. The rack includes 2 routers, 1 firewall, patch panels, switches, PBX, WAN load balancer, 2 Synology rackstations servers, 2 rack UPS, 2 PDU, NVR, and 1 ATS. The server room is where essential business data, cloud applications, and internal networks are managed securely.
