Maximize Your ROI by Reclaiming Data Center Lost Capacity
The data center industry often operates under tight deadlines and frequently prioritizes short-term fixes to meet the growing demand for new IT deployment. Short-term solutions can result in underutilization or ineffective utilization of capacity.
Advanced management tools offer a solution for long-term planning. With comprehensive data analysis and, in some cases, predictive modeling, data center operators can proactively address issues before they escalate.
Cadence Reality DC Digital Twin combines modern data center management systems and simulates complex operational factors, such as cooling and airflow, using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). This tool evaluates current data center capacity for power, space, network, and cooling while showing insights into future deployment.
Our white paper, Maximize Your ROI by Reclaiming Data Center Lost Capacity, discusses the significant impact of lost capacity on data center management and how predictive tools can help reclaim it. Key takeaways:
Financial and Environmental Impact:
- Only 50-60% of rack capacity is typically used *
- Maximizing existing capacity reduces the need for more data center space
- Reclaim power eroded by capacity fragmentation and inefficient cooling
Cadence Reality DC uses computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and digital twin technology for:
- Predictive Analysis: Get a clear view of full data center performance now and in the future; assess changes and their impact before implementation
- Mitigate unforeseen thermal issues to maintain service levels
- Resource Integration: Balance space, power, network, and cooling
- Efficiency Gains: Recover lost capacity and power with actionable insights.
