Our previous article, “5 Reasons For Lost Data Center Dollars,” established the main causes of low-capacity utilization, increased downtime and cooling inefficiencies, and examined the impact they have on your costs. We concluded that the best solution is an integrated and continuous modeling process to resolve current problems and model future changes. At Future Facilities, we achieve this using our 6SigmaDCX engineering simulation tool.
Data center performance losses occur almost from day one, but may only manifest themselves much later in the life cycle: a result of creeping changes made over a long period. To counter this, monitoring and continuous modeling are needed — even when you believe that your facility is well operated and not showing obvious issues.
