Fan panels for mounting on racks are available from a number of manufacturers, including Eaton and Tripp-Lite (search for server rack fans). APC and Emerson both offer fairly inexpensive door-sized fan arrays that mount to the rear of a rack to increase airflow. More expensive options include Emerson's XDO and XDV units, which mount above the rack for auxiliary cooling, and IBM's and Rittal's rear cooling doors, which cool the server exhaust air using coils filled with cold water or refrigerant.
