Data Center Custom Efficiency Solutions
Do you have specific concerns that need to be addressed? Perhaps you have a set up that requires a higher level of scrutiny? 42U offers additional service solutions that can be tailored to meet your specific needs. Our 40+ years of data center infrastructure experience ensures you will get the best possible solution catered not only to your immediate but future needs.
42U’s Custom Data Center Solutions are completely customized to meet your specific objectives for energy efficiency and availability. Data Center Engineers from 42U will meet with you to identify your business requirements and establish deliverables that meet those requirements. Listed below are specific situations that may warrant a higher level of focus:
Need Help Getting to the Root of your Problem?
The power went down at your data center. The backup generator started, but you still lost access. When it’s unusually hot outside, why do three of your servers shut down? The answers may be simple, but sometimes it takes another pair of eyes to discover the solution. 42U’ s Root Cause Analysis can evaluate your blind spots to help discover the answer to your most pressing concerns.
- Stop wasting time and money band-aiding the symptoms
- Get to the root cause and fix the real problem
- 42U will get to the heart of your problem in a timely manner giving you maximum uptime
Are you Considering an Expansion?
Need a higher density environment with reliable uptime? Consider our CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) Modeling Service. This numerical analysis technique generates a 3-dimensional model of your server room to analyze airflow and temperature patterns.
- Provide insight into the airflow dynamics of your data center
- Delivering you an excellent tool for planning your data center expansions
- Perform "what-if" analysis and infrastructure failure simulations without compromising uptime
Do you have an Adequate Strategy for Power Outages?
Do you have enough reserved capacity? Let 42U’s engineers help you quantify your current availability and develop maintenance and testing procedures that meet your needs with our Availability Evaluation.
- Identify your true potential risk for downtime due to power or cooling failures
- Determine single points of failure and how to avoid them to minimize data center outages
- Increase your peace of mind knowing your redundancy plan is reliable and solid
Are you Concerned about your Energy Usage/Efficiency?
Did you know that lowering the fan speed of your CRAH units by 20% can reduce your power usage by almost 50%? Do you lower the temperature of your data center to compensate for high inlet temperatures of just a few servers? 42U can help you achieve a more consistent temperature profile with Air Flow Tuning & Optimization.
- Improve your availability and minimize risk by ensuring adequate cooling in case of unit failure
- Optimize floor tile placement to allow raising your data center’s temperature (if applicable)
- Lower your operating costs, improve your energy efficiency and allow increased temperatures in the data center without sacrificing availability
Do you have Enough Electrical Capacity to Add Another Server to That Rack?
When deciding to add equipment, peak power ratings are often used but portray an incomplete picture. No server runs at 100% power all the time, but how much is actually in use? Our Power Utilization Analysis will easily put everything into perspective.
- Recover “stranded power” (under-utilized power capacities) due to inaccurate allocation
- Add capacity to your data center without adding more infrastructure
- Create a plan for future expansion based on actual data
Do you have "Free Cooling" Potential?
Air-side and water-side economizers offer the potential for significant energy savings by using the ambient environment to augment or replace mechanical air conditioning. Depending on your location, environment, data center design and existing infrastructure, implementing a “free cooling” strategy can be extremely challenging. 42U’s “Free Cooling” Evaluation can help you analyze the true costs and benefits for practical application.
- Receive a Total Cost/Benefit Analysis based on your location, environmental factors, and data center design
- Determine how often you can actually utilize “free cooling” and if your data center will benefit
- Equips you to build a business case to provide realistic Return on Investment figures to communicate the value of “free cooling” to key decision makers (if applicable)
