SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Future Facilities North America, a leading provider of data center design and operations management software, today announced that its General Manager, Sherman Ikemoto, will speak at the Uptime Institute Symposium 2013 this week at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, California.
On Wednesday, May 15th at 2:30 p.m., Mr. Ikemoto will give a presentation titled “Can You Afford Lost Data Center Capacity” which will show attendees how data center owners and operators can create a virtual test facility that predicts and visualizes the outcome of power and cooling decisions before critical IT equipment is deployed.
At $10 to $30M per MW, IT compute capacity is a major capital investment for any company. During the presentation, Mr. Ikemoto will share a case study highlighting how a Fortune 500 company was able to benefit from a Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) methodology that integrates IT configuration management, 3D modeling and CFD analysis to predict, visualize and solve data center capacity issues before committing to critical infrastructure changes in the data center.
At the end of the discussion, attendees will be able to answer the following questions:
- How is compute capacity lost?
- Once lost, can capacity be reclaimed?
- Can lost data center capacity be avoided altogether?
“In many corporate data centers, the failure to predict the physical response of the data center prior to deploying new IT equipment and critical infrastructure can cause a loss of up to forty percent of IT loading capacity, allowing optimal data center performance to be hindered,” said Sherman Ikemoto. “Without any visibility into the long-term consequences of IT deployment choices and energy savings programs, a proper cost/benefit analysis of the proposed changes cannot be performed.”
