Thermal and CFD Assessments are needed to determine how efficiently air flows through a DataCentre and how effectively heat is dispelled; and to identify areas for improvement. What Ainsworth does:Measures air temperature and air flow at critical points throughout the Data Centre.Identifies hot spots and airflow restrictions.Performs a CFD (computational fluid dynamics) analysis in problematic areas.  This is a rigorous means of evaluating airflow patterns and may include important variables…See More

Things that are easy to overlook, but should be kept in mind when managing a Data Centre: How much potential revenue is left in the Data Centre?Where will the next failure come from and why?How will the batteries actually run? Will they last until the generator kicks in?What repairs, upgrades and/or new equipment are really needed?
