Abstract
A system and method is provided for evaluating the transient cooling performance of a data center. In one version, the method includes receiving input data from a storage device, the input data including data center architecture information and operating data, displaying a model of the data center, performing real-time transient cooling performance calculations for the data center using the input data, and displaying results of the real-time transient cooling performance calculations, wherein the results include a maximum predicted temperature of the data center following a power outage of the data center.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method for evaluating transient cooling performance of a data center, the method comprising:
- receiving input data from a storage device, the input data including data center architecture information and operating data;
- performing real-time transient cooling performance calculations for the data center using the input data, the real-time transient cooling performance calculations include calculating a rate of change of at least one predicted temperature in the data center during a power outage of the data center;
- and
- displaying results of the real-time transient cooling performance calculations in a data center management system, wherein the results include a maximum predicted temperature of the data center following the power outage of the data center.
A system for evaluating transient cooling performance of a data center, the system comprising:
- a storage device;
- a display;
- a controller coupled to the storage device and the display and configured to:
- receive input data from the storage device, the input data including data center architecture information and operating data;
- perform real-time transient cooling performance calculations for the data center using the input data, the real-time transient cooling performance calculations include calculating a rate of change of at least one predicted temperature in the data center during a power outage of the data center;
- and
- control the display to display results of the real-time transient cooling performance calculations in a data center management system, wherein the results include a maximum predicted temperature of the data center following the power outage of the data center.
A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon sequences of instruction including instructions that will cause a processor to:
- receive input data regarding a layout of a data center and cooling systems contained in the data center;
- store the input data;
- perform real-time transient cooling performance calculations for the data center using the input data, the real-time transient cooling performance calculations include calculating a rate of change of at least one predicted temperature in the data center during a power outage of the data center;
- and
- control a display to display results of the real-time transient cooling performance calculations in a data center management system, wherein the results include a maximum predicted temperature of the data center following the power outage of the data center.
