DCDR
( Data Center Design Ratification )
Today’s challenges to build new DC?
- Need to compare different cooling technologies & equipment’s performance to make the right decision
- How to avoid over provisioning, resulting in high up front CAPEX & recurring OPEX costs?
- How to visualize designed performance of DC up front with varying IT loads?
- Can we predict the ACE parameters, i.e.. Availability, Capacity & Efficiency over period of life span of DC with varying IT load before actually built?
- How to predict the impact of cooling failure on the data center resilience?
There are many questions and need to answer before actually built the facility.
Predict data center ACE performance before you built it
Designing a new data center that is reliable and cost efficient – all the while with the agility to accommodate shifting business demands and technological innovation – is a must. But these requirements can pull in opposing directions. A focus on efficiency will affect resilience, and flexibility can be inefficient; potentially with adverse effects on data center performance
The industry is now recognizing the need to better quantify performance ACE and assess/predict the effects of changes in happens during operational before DC built.
We utilize the power of CFD simulation tool to create a 3D Virtual Facility. The Virtual Facility (VF) allows you to simulate the airflow throughout your design & predict operational conditions, answering the questions that had previously been left to chance.
