Lack of air flow, not temperature, is typically the cause of thermal issues. If the data centre is an existing facility, a high-level Thermal Assessment will help to identify current thermal management issues and degree of best practice adoption, but it won't provide an accurate assessment of future problems when additional IT equipment is deployed or changes are made to the data centre layout. Predictive simulation tools like Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis can identify the origin of current and future thermal problems in data centres. CFD maps, simulates and analyzes air flow, temperature and pressure to uncover hot spots, possible equipment malfunctions, physical layout challenges or other areas with potential cooling issues.Join us as we discuss:ü Why high-density virtualised/consolidated environments demand a different and holistic approach to coolingü The most common cooling myths and why not to believe themü How several real world thermal cooling issues are solved with both traditional and advanced data centre containment solutions from the perspective of a Panduit corporate research engineerü How CFD thermal modeling solves complex cooling issues to reduce your cooling costs
