Best Configuration for your Servers? Correct Type of Rack?
 
6sigmaRack is a software tool designed specifically for those who want to configure racks / cabinets and minimise the risk thermal failure.

Rack and shelf mounted equipment can be easily dragged from the library and dropped into the cabinet giving a full 3-dimensional model of the cabinet and its contents..

An automatically generated, but adjustable test environment enables you to evaluate the thermal and airflow performance. Once a Predict Temperatures calculation has been made you can visualise how and where the cool and warm air flows. This allows you to make and test educated changes to ensure the the cool air supply reaches the equipment, minimising the opportunity for re-circulation of hot air within the virtual cabinet before taking any risks with the real equipment.

 

Key features:

 
* Libraries of cabinets and rack mounted equipment

* Fully adjustable models of the rack / cabinet to allow for:
   - Virtually any cabinet design;
   - Almost any airflow configuration including assisted cooling devices such as fan trays...
   - Automatic equipment location / alignment;
   - Solid and perforated shelf elements;
   - Rack and shelf mounted equipment
   - Any equipment ventilaton strategy

* Test environments from:
   - Simple user set ambient conditions, through to:
   - small test facilities including an air cooling unit and all the elements that go to make up a real test      facility;

* Full 3-dimensional anlysis of the airflow and temperature for the test environment / facility;

* Straight forward post-processing to identify:
   - Equipment at risk;
   - Cooling effectiveness;
   - Recirculation paths.
