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)

Chart analysis

Site Audit​

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

  • Environmental ​

  • Structural, Architecture and Space​

  • Electrical and Mechanical ​

  • Safety and Security​

Components Focused

Architecture and Space Planning​

  • Site and Geographical suitability check​

  • Civil and Structural​

Validation​

Data center is validated using​

  • Data Center standards​

  • Thermal Imaging​

  • 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​

  • Redundancy​
