Proactively Manage Data Center / Server Room Power & Cooling

Why Assess Your Data Center?

Ensure reliability and extend service life by inspecting the operating condition of your data center power & cooling systems.

A Vision Data Center assessment will:

• Evaluate your data center’s infrastructure capabilities and ability to support long term business needs
• Collect and analyze your power & cooling utilization data to evaluate energy use and cooling capacity

Today IT organizations are facing a multitude of challenges, including increasing workloads, evolving technologies, aging data centers, rising energy prices, and increased environmental awareness. In many data centers, the power and cooling infrastructure has not kept pace with the dramatic changes in IT.

By proactively managing your data center power and cooling systems, you can improve reliability, reduce energy costs and make the most of your existing facility and infrastructure.

Vision offers assessments that scale to meet business needs.

• Level One Data Center Health Check - A basic service that will provide you with an inventory of your critical power and cooling equipment, note overall operating conditions and present recommendations to improve infrastructure reliability and service life
• Level Two Intermediate Data Center Assessment - A more broad service that will provide room scale power and cooling capacity and utilization information as well as rack level cooling analysis using airflow measurement and infrared imaging (thermography)
• Level Three Comprehensive Data Center Assessment - A detailed power and cooling analysis based on measured electrical distribution load readings at the rack level

Additional services can be added to configure a package that suits your data center needs:

• CAD Floor Plan
• Thermal Imaging (Thermography) - Electrical Infrastructure
• Electrical Distribution Circuit Tracing
• Critical Electrical Infrastructure One Line Diagram
• Single Point of Failure Analysis
• Diesel Generator Load Bank Testing
• Power Quality Analysis
• Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)

Vision Data Center assessments provide detailed information about your server room power and cooling infrastructure condition, utilization levels and performance capabilities.

Vision Data Center experts will:

• Configure service modules to provide an assessment package tailored to your business
• Establish a power and cooling capability baseline
• Provide utilization information relative to critical infrastructure capacity
• Note data center electrical and mechanical equipment operating conditions
• Review critical infrastructure maintenance programs
• Deliver a comprehensive report that provides solution options to data center inadequacies as well as strategies to extend data center service life
