DC Audits & Health Checks
Why Audits/Health Checks
-
Acts as a basic quality check of Infrastructure ​
-
Helps to decide DC still meet objectives​
-
Ensures DC compliant with current standards​
-
Is Infrastructure still appropriate to meet business demands​​
-
Identify and mitigate risks/issues
Our Approach​

Requirement Analysis
-
Understand objectives and design​
-
Application Infrastructure Requirements​
-
Customer Inputs on Issues and risks​
-
Road map (if there are any changes)


Site Audit​
-
A detailed analysis of the building to ensure that it meets the minimum requirements and identify any risks ​
-

-
CFD Analysis​
-
Electrical Analysis​
Realtime Thermal Imaging
Realtime thermal imaging of a brownfield data center helps in identifying hotspots, mixing and irregularities of the mechanical infrastructure.​

CFD Analysis​

Computational Fluid Dynamics Modeling - CFD​
A powerful 3D CFD tool is utilized to analyze ​
-
Total heat load and HVAC sizing​
-
Thermal mapping ​
-
Airflow and Static Pressure ​
-
Rack Inlet and Outlet Temperatures​
​
​
CFD modeling based Design​
-
Ability to develop multiple design options quickly, results in an optimal design based on a methodical process instead of a tentative approach​​
-
Saves CAPEX & OPEX and saves time by avoiding mistakes​
-
Modeling of multiple loading scenarios helps in determining scalability and individual rack loading plans throughout the life cycle
Electrical analysis​
Following analysis are carried out at site for improving
PUE of the data center​
​
-
Real-time racks load analysis​
-
Review for used power in racks​
-
Mechanical infrastructure power usage​
-
