ACE Jumpstart will optimize data
center performance while reducing operational costs
DCIM Solutions, LLC (DCIM Solutions), a
leading provider of Data Center Assessments and Infrastructure Optimization
Solutions, today announced a strategic partnership with Future Facilities to
adapt ACE predictive modeling as part of DCIM’s Data Center Assessment
Services.
The ACE Jumpstart Service assesses three
critical indicators for optimal data center performance: Availability, Capacity
and Efficiency. ACE scores data centers
on how compromised its availability, physical capacity and cooling efficiency
have become by analyzing and mapping the interrelationship between the three
variables. The resulting ACE score determines how well a data center is
performing, and in turn, how costly the facility is to build and operate.
“This partnership provides immediate benefits
for data center owners and operators that are looking to treat their data
centers as a business unit.” said Dan McDougal, Managing Partner, DCIM
Solutions, LLC. “Using the ACE
Methodology, DCIM Solutions will be well equipped to help data centers of all
sizes plan for capacity changes and prevent negative trends before they begin.”
Data inputs from ACE can also be synchronized
with any DCIM suite or other system monitoring toolkit and are mapped to a
powerful 3D Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) model to create a Virtual
Facility (VF). The VF allows for precise simulations for a variety of critical
operational decisions, including: airflow distribution, temperature, physical
resource collision and electrical systems.
DCIM Solutions has more than a decade of
experience perfecting the calibration process, which is integral to
establishing ACE goals and maximizing predictability. Through VF simulations,
corrective measures are identified to bridge the gap between the data center’s
current state and the aspired ACE Goals.
The calibrated VF produced by ACE Jumpstart
will be imported into Future Facilities’ 6SigmaDC software and be available for
immediate use, with a 90 Day Software License and formal training included. By
engaging in an ACE Jumpstart assessment data center owner-operators will be
able to utilize simulation and predictive modeling throughout the life of their
data center to stay on track to reach their ACE Goals.
“Future Facilities is excited to partner with
a data center infrastructure leader like DCIM Solutions,” said Sherman Ikemoto,
Director, Future Facilities NA. “Through this partnership, ACE Jumpstart will
be further optimized for the data center owner/operator. It’s gratifying to see
the ACE Assessment becoming adopted as an important metric for data center
efficiency.”
DCIM Solutions’ goal is to educate users on
the opportunities to use predictive simulation to recover stranded capacity
within the data center and maximize the real estate without sacrificing
availability or efficiency.
Visit DCIM Solutions and
Future Facilities at Booth 616 during the upcoming AFCOM Data Center World Expo
in Orlando, FL -- Oct 19th through Oct. 22nd.
Data Center experts will be available to provide information on ACE
Jumpstart, the importance of modeling and predictive simulation, and the benefits
of increasing data center efficiency through analysis within the Virtual
Facility.
