Future Facilities invites you to a live web presentation at which the use of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) techniques for managing critical data center resources will be demonstrated. Efficiency for any data center is driven by the way that Total Power, Total Cooling and Total Space availability is utilized by the Owner/Operator at any point in time and resource utilization is strongly affected by the way the IT equipment is deployed.
This presentation will reference a case study that illustrates a simulation-based technique for improving data center energy efficiency by careful planning of IT deployments. The goal of the case study was to develop a baseline model to understand the current state of power distribution and cooling for the facility. This baseline model was used to extrapolate and make scientifically based engineering decisions aimed at improving operational efficiency as measured in PUE.
The case study will be used to illustrate the methodology, highlight common cooling system inefficiencies and compare the ROI of multiple cooling system design options that can reduce cooling system operating costs by up to 25%.
All attendees will receive a whitepaper containing further details about the case study for future reference at the end of the session.
