Key Benefits
The Next Generation of Data Center Design & Operations
Sustainable Design & Ops
Prioritise sustainable design and operations with carbon usage analytics and energy efficiency reports.
Visualise Performance
Visualise layout, airflow, cooling, power, and the impact of changes on operations in a digital twin using simulation.
Cross-Team Alignment
Organise large volumes of data, track changes, and automate reports so the right data reaches the right stakeholders.
Proactive Software
Streamline resource utilisation planning, meet service-level agreements (SLAs), and gain actionable insights.
Applications
Seamless Solutions for Advanced DC Management
Optimised Design & Operations
Create fast, accurate digital-twin models of existing or future data centers. Explore design configurations and failure scenarios — maximise resilience, capacity, and cooling efficiency while reducing cost and minimising failures.
Capacity Planning & IT Deployment
Manage and track IT moves, installs, and decommissions. Customisable dashboards and automated reports give IT and facilities teams actionable insights and performance metrics.
Maximise Operational Performance
Calibrated digital-twin model + powerful CFD solver reveals causes of cooling issues and lets you test solutions before physical implementation. Connect to live data and customer workflows for continuous updates.
Capabilities
Virtualising the Entire Data Center Ecosystem
Maximise Energy Efficiency
Carbon usage analytics and energy-efficiency reporting reduce cost and carbon footprint. Visualise performance with ASHRAE, PUE, and SLA compliance metrics.
Safeguard with CFD
Detailed calibrated digital-twin model + powerful CFD solver. Test deployment options and failure scenarios across power, loading, and cooling.
Capacity Visualization
Calculate resource availability across power and cooling to validate IT placement and optimise space. Assess upcoming IT projects against capacity.
Cross-Team Collaboration
Combine data from environmental monitoring, ticketing software, 15+ DCIM tools, and more in one user-friendly platform.
Cooling Strategy Flexibility
Model any configuration — raised floors, non-raised floors, fan walls, indirect / direct adiabatic evaporative cooling, and liquid cooling.
Modernise Legacy DCs
Reimagine legacy environments or optimise new ones with the same flexible modelling and simulation engine.
