The air containment cooling system of claim 1, wherein the heat exchanger includes a coil. 4. The air containment cooling system of claim 3, further comprising a fan disposed below the top of the heat exchanger of the at least one cooling panel to move the air to the coil. 5. The air containment cooling system of claim 1, further comprising vertical filler panels configured to be disposed between adjacent racks of each row of the two rows of the equipment racks having a gap between the adjacent racks. 6. The air containment cooling system of claim 1, further comprising a cable trough positioned adjacent to one of the two sides of the heat exchanger of the at least one cooling panel. 7. The air containment cooling system of claim 1, further comprising a first bus that extends along one of the two sides of the heat exchanger of the at least one cooling panel. 8. The air containment cooling system of claim 7, further comprising a second bus that extends along another one of the two sides of the heat exchanger of the at least one cooling panel. 9. An air containment cooling system for containing and cooling air between two rows of equipment racks, the air containment cooling system comprising: a canopy assembly configured to enclose a hot aisle defined by the two rows of the equipment racks, the canopy assembly including a free-standing frame structure having a plurality of vertical and horizontal support members defining a docking station; anda cooling system, supported by the free-standing frame structure, the cooling system being embedded within the canopy assembly, the cooling system having at least one cooling panel defined by a heat exchanger, the heat exchanger of the at least one cooling panel being substantially inverse V-shaped in construction and having two sides to increase a surface area of the heat exchanger of the at least one cooling panel, the cooling system being configured to cool the air disposed within the hot aisle. 10. The air containment cooling system of claim 9, wherein the plurality of vertical and horizontal support members include pipes configured to deliver coolant to the heat exchanger. 11. The air containment cooling system of claim 9, wherein the heat exchanger includes a coil. 12. The air containment cooling system of claim 11, further comprising a fan disposed between the two sides of the heat exchanger of the at least one cooling panel to move the air to the coil. 13.

The air containment cooling system of claim 15, further comprising a second bus that extends along another one of the two sides of the heat exchanger of the at least one cooling panel. 17. A method of cooling a hot aisle of equipment racks of a data center, the method comprising: containing air within the hot aisle of the data center by providing a canopy assembly above the hot aisle and between two rows of the equipment racks, the canopy assembly including a free-standing frame structure having a plurality of vertical and horizontal support members defining a docking station;disposing a cooling system having at least one cooling panel defined by a heat exchanger in the canopy assembly, the heat exchanger of the at least one cooling panel being supported by the free-standing frame structure, the heat exchanger of the at least one cooling panel being substantially inverse U-shaped in construction and having two sides and a top to increase a surface area of the heat exchanger of the at least one cooling panel; andcooling the air contained within the hot aisle by the heat exchanger. 18. The method of claim 17, further comprising providing filler panels between adjacent equipment racks of each row of the two rows of the equipment racks to further contain the air within the hot aisle. 19. The method of claim 17, further comprising moving the air within the hot aisle toward the heat exchanger disposed within the canopy assembly. 20. The method of claim 17, further comprising providing IT equipment, power distribution and cable management capabilities along one of the sides of the heat exchanger of the at least one cooling panel. 21. The method of claim 17, further comprising disposing a fan below the top of the heat exchanger of the at least one cooling panel. 22. A method of cooling a hot aisle of equipment racks of a data center, the method comprising: containing air within the hot aisle of the data center by providing a canopy assembly above the hot aisle and between two rows of the equipment racks, the canopy assembly including a free-standing frame structure having a plurality of vertical and horizontal support members defining a docking station;disposing a cooling system having at least one cooling panel defined by a heat exchanger in the canopy assembly, the heat exchanger of the at least one cooling panel being supported by the free-standing frame structure, the heat exchanger of the at least one cooling panel being substantially inverse V-shaped in construction and having two sides to increase a surface area of the heat exchanger of the at least one cooling panel; andcooling the air contained within the hot aisle by the heat exchanger. 23. The method of claim 22, further comprising providing filler panels between adjacent equipment racks of each row of the two rows of the equipment racks to further contain the air within the hot aisle. 24.
