Data Center Operation: Capacity

Simulation, planning, and optimization of infrastructure capacities to right-size the data center

Planning and optimizing utilization of actual physical infrastructure capacities via shared data center model, enabling efficient equipment provisioning and right-sizing of your data center.

Data Center Operation: Capacity predicts the optimal location for physical infrastructure and rack-based IT equipment based on the availability and requirements of physical infrastructure capacity; and user defined requirements such as redundancy, network and business use grouping. It reduces stranded capacity through optimized use of the physical infrastructure and avoids unplanned downtime. With its sophisticated simulation based on live data, Data Center Operation: Capacity proactively analyzes the impact of changes before they occur, enabling informed decision making and planning, ensuring that your physical infrastructure provides the required capacity for current and future needs..

StruxureWare for Data Centers: Optimization and Utilization

As data centers become denser, optimization and utilization become key elements to extending the life of your existing data center. See how the Struxureware™ can enable the optimization and utilization of your data center capacity.

Planning

  • IT equipment guidance

    Instant server placement recommendation through real-time analysis of available data center capacity, including power, cooling, u-space, network and power ports, capacity strategies, weight limits and more.
  • Infrastructure failure to IT impact

    Critical events are translated into server impact analysis, and virtual machines at risk are automatically migrated to healthy hosts.
  • Business impact

    Shows the consequence of device failure on data center infrastructure equipment for instant identification of critical business application impacts.
  • Simulation of device failures

    Enables data center operators to proactively identify how a device failure will impact business critical applications and maintain redundancy during maintenance.
  • Scenario analysis

    Try out future data center changes and view the impact, without making any changes to their live StruxureWare Data Center Operation application.
  • 3-phase load balancing

    Automatically distribute and track single and three-phase equipment power draw from UPS power supply, through distribution down to server and blade level ensuring all three phases on the power system carry a balanced load.
  • 3D airflow analysis

    Simulate any cooling scenario in your data center, instantly visualizing the cooling effect on your infrastructure for easy identification of overcooling and hotspots..
  • Capacity reports

    Shows planned and actual power data in one view, enabling detailed planning of future power needs.
  • Capture Index

    Instantly visualize the dynamics of the data center airflow through the hot and cold aisle Capture Index (CI), providing real-time analysis of how effectively the supplied air is used.
  • Raised floor environments

    Gain an instant overview of the plenum air velocities and airflow rates for optimal positioning of perforated tiles in rooms with raised floor cooling systems pressure.
