Heat/air-flow problems in the present data centre?

  Planning a new data centre?

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) with state of the art supercomputing systems model the air-flow in your data centre to enable a better understanding of hot-spots, bad circulation, and insight as to how to increase server density.

Poor thermal and environmental management of data centres is fast becoming one of the most serious risks to availability. Traditional room-based cooling was initially aimed at servicing racks drawing less than 4kW each. Today, modern IT equipment is pushing peak power density to 28kW per rack or more and creating very high localised heat dissipation (hotspots).

The upshot is that the ability to predict and guarantee the performance of the facility is compromised, ultimately resulting in sporadic and, sometimes, prolonged incidents of downtime and/or operational risk, these can be avoided by using Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) analysis.

There is also the ever-growing need to build new data centre space with bespoke cooling methods (e.g. water) to accomodate more severs. An audit and CFD model of your data centre can demonstrate suitable adjustments to present space without resorting to a multi-million pound capital project for a new data centre.
