Data Center Assessment - Level Three
A Detailed Power and Cooling Analysis of Your Data Center
Our level three comprehensive data center / server room assessment offers a detailed power and cooling analysis based on measured electrical distribution load readings at the rack level. The level three data center assessment is invasive (typically performed during nights and weekends). 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
- Measure airflow from plenum floor tiles
- Measure UPS input/output
- Measure PDU and electrical distribution branch circuits
- Measure CRAC power consumption
- 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)
