Optimize your Data Center with Alteram's Data Center Condition & Capacity Assessment
This comprehensive data center assessment service will provide insight into your power, cooling and space utilization capacities through a thorough on-site inspection. Carrier's engineers will baseline the current state of your data center’s power and cooling infrastructure and recommend improvements around efficiency, effectiveness and availability. This non-invasive assessment will help you visualize your current power, cooling and space utilization, identify under-utilized capacities and eliminate potential points of failure.
Your Condition & Capacity Assessment will include:
Mechanical Systems Review:
- Comprehensive Mechanical Topology Study
- Condition, current load, and total capacity of all applicable equipment (chillers, cooling towers, dry coolers, heat exchanger, economizer systems, CRAC or CRAH and pumps)
Electrical Systems Review:
- Comprehensive Electrical Topology Study
- Condition, current load, and total capacity of all applicable equipment (utility feed, transformers, switch gear, UPS systems, PDUs, remote power panels and generators)
Computer Room Environmental Review:
- Overall layout review and physical inspection of plenum(s), raised floor system and containment infrastructures
- Continuous real-time monitoring with customizable wireless sensor system to track airflow, temperature, humidity and power consumption trends over time
Reliability Study / Availability Estimation
Deliverable - A written report including:
- Current installed capacity of electrical and mechanical systems
- Remaining available capacity of electrical and mechanical systems
- Detailed analysis and recommendations for maximizing power and cooling capacities
- Identify and re-capture stranded capacities

Consider our Condition and Capacity Assessment if you need to ensure that your data center is performing at an optimum level. Thermal mapping of temperature anomalies will identify high rack inlet temperatures, cold air leakage and room related issues. With our comprehensive Condition and Capacity Assessment, you will gain insight into your data center environment with high-level overviews, and the ability to zoom in on critical zone views. In addition, you will have the capability to drill down to detailed views of the temperature efficiency of a single rack and much more.
