1. A method for containing a cold air flow in a corridor in a data center, the method comprising: providing a base to mount on top of a first cabinet for receiving at least one computer system;providing a panel and attaching the panel to the base, wherein the panel moves with respect to the base between a closed position and a deployed position, so that in the closed position, the panel lays flat on the base on top of the first cabinet, and in the deployed position, the panel extends outward from over the computer cabinet; andwherein the attaching comprises fastening the panel to the base along an axis around which the panel can rotate. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the panel can slide with respect to the base, in a plane parallel to the base. 3. The method of claim 2, wherein the base comprises two rails in which the panel can slide. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the panel can be attached to the panel of another system for containing the cold air flow in the corridor of the data center. 5. The method of claim 1, further comprising providing actuating means for changing the panel's position between the closed position and the deployed position. 6. The method of claim 5, further comprising providing means for controlling the actuating means, wherein the means for controlling can be remotely activated. 7. The method of claim 6, wherein the controlling means can be selectively activated, so as to allow a user to choose which panel among several should be moved. 8. A method comprising: providing a cabinet for receiving at least one computer system; andproviding a system for containing a cold air flow in a corridor in a data center mounted on top of the cabinet, wherein the cabinet at least partially forms the corridor, the system comprising: a base to mount on top of the cabinet for receiving at least one computer system;a panel to attach to the base, wherein the panel moves with respect to the base between a closed position and a deployed position, so that in the closed position, the panel lays flat on the base on top of the cabinet, and in the deployed position, the patent extends outward from over the computer cabinet; anda fastener fastening the panel to the base along an axis around which the panel can rotate. 9. The method of claim 8, wherein the cabinet comprises a top cover, which serves as the panel, wherein with the panel in the deployed position, the cabinet is open at the top, and with the panel in the closed position, the cabinet is closed at the top. 10. A method for optimizing configuration of a cold air corridor in a data center comprising a plurality of cabinets defining the corridor, the method comprising: providing a plurality of systems, the plurality of systems facilitating containing cold air flow in the corridor and being mounted on top of respective cabinets of the plurality of cabinets, each system comprising a base mounted to the top of a respective cabinet, a panel attached to the base, wherein the panel reciprocates with respect to the base between a closed position and a deployed position, so that in the closed position, the panel lays flat on the base, and in the deployed position, the panel extends outward from over the respective cabinet, the panel being attached to the base along an axis around which the panel can rotate;controlling the plurality of systems to configure the corridor;measuring the effects of the corridor configuration on the performance of the cooling system; anddetermining whether the selected layout improves cooling performance. 11. The method of claim 10, wherein the measuring comprises measuring the amount of energy required to maintain the temperature in the data center at a predefined temperature for a predefined duration given predefined external conditions.
