TechXact cooling load studies offer piece-of-mind when it comes to data center cooling requirement and equipment selection. Our expert engineers can provide complete load profiling and reporting from simple spot-checking to week-long data logging. Our methodology combines the business and technology expertise needed to ensure customer satisfaction from concept through completion.

 

Assessing the electrical power required to support and cool the critical loads within the data center is essential to planning for the development of a facility that will meet the end user's availability expectations. Our experts can produce a reasonable estimate of the data center cooling requirements. This will help specify the size of the Network-Critical Physical Infrastructure components that will achieve the availability determined by the needs assessment. Once the sizing determination is made, conceptual and detailed planning can go forward with the assistance of a TechXact consulting engineer. Cost estimation can then be made based on the size and reliability configuration determined from the data center cooling needs assessment process.

 

TechXact Data Center Cooling Assessment provides a non-biased, independent, assessment of the current data center cooling infrastructure performance as well as recommendations for upgrades and enhancements to eliminate scheduled and unscheduled downtime. The assessment includes a comprehensive data center site inspection and report including a raised floor cooling assessment. This is a review of the factors that most directly impact critical systems cooling. Extensive temperature, airflow, and cooling performance data are collected. We provide a comprehensive assessment of the computer room's cooling effectiveness. The resulting report gives data center and facility managers the quantitative information to understand the current status of their sites and, more importantly, to know what they can do to solve existing problems, proactively avoid potential problems and plan for future growth.
