Data Center Assessment - Level Two

An Intermediate Assessment of your Data Center's Power & Cooling Infrastructure

Our intermediate data center or server room assessment offers a more broad service than the level one health check. This assessment will provide room scale power and cooling capacity and utilization information, as well as rack level cooling analysis using airflow management and infrared thermal imaging.Infrared scan of air recirculating over server racks in data center

The level two data center assessment is non-invasive (typically performed during normal business hours). During this assessment, Electronic Environments will:

  • Note the general conditions of your data center or server room's physical infrastructure including: Computer Room Air Conditioners (CRAC), Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems and the power distribution infrastructure
  • Measure areas of excessive temperatures
  • Measure humidity
  • Measure CRAC supply & return temperatures
  • Review of maintenance procedures and practices
  • Perform an infrared scan of racks for high temperatures
  • Perform an infrared scan of the room for temperature anomalies
  • Inspect the subfloor and ceiling plenum (where applicable)

The Deliverables from the Level Two Data Center or Server Room Assessment

Electronic Environments will deliver a comprehensive written report of all findings from the assessment that includes:

  • Power, cooling and space utilization analysis
  • Comprehensive report of power / cooling / space analysis based on nominal capacities and displayed load from UPS or PDUs
  • Infrared images indicating rack locations with excessively high temperatures
  • Recommendations for problem resolution
  • Three hard copies and one soft copy of the report

Features and Benefits of the Level Two Data Center Assessment

Features Benefits
High level evaluation of the critical power and cooling infrastructure condition and utilization Provides an understanding of power, cooling and space utilization and an indication of stranded capacity
Measurement of data center environmental conditions Ensure that the data center is operating within industry guidelines for temperature and humidity
Thermal imaging of temperature anomalies within the data center Use of state of the art equipment to clearly identify high rack inlet temperatures, cold air leakage and room related problems

 

Additional Data Center Assessment Levels Available

Electronic Environments offers two additional levels of data center or server room assessments as well as additional service modules that can be added to configure a service package that suits your budget and business needs.

Level One Data Center Health Check Assessment - 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 Three Comprehensive Data Centers Assessment - A detailed power and cooling analysis based on measured electrical distribution load readings at the rack level.
