> Learn the dynamics of your data center, including cooling requirements, deficiencies,
and the science behind efficient operation

Comprehensive Diagnostic and Remediation Computer Room Services
As data center rack densities increase and thermal loads rise, many organizations resort to increasing the number of cooling units. While this may appear to solve the problem, the added cooling capacity does not offer precision cooling, which will help curb costs and improve energy efficiency.

To achieve cooling efficiency and optimize your capacity, you must eliminate the loss
of chilled air through unsealed cable openings, as well as examine other data center
performance factors, including the location of perforated tiles, relative humidity,
underfloor plenum airflow, computer-room layout, set points and power consumption.

With a range of services, you will be able to meet your technical and budgetary requirements.


Inadequate supply air volume creates an environment in which equipment at the top
of cabinets is significantly hotter. In this photograph, recirculation is evident over
the top of the cabinet, around the ends of rows, and within the cabinet itself.

KOLDPROFILE
Upsite KoldProfile, one of the KoldWorks suite of service offerings, is a survey of your data center cooling to determine the three measurements of data center cooling health based on published standards from ASHRAE and the
Uptime Institute:

> Data Center Hotspots—Temperature and Relative Humidity
> Bypass Airflow—To regain lost conditioned airflow
> Cooling Margin Available—To cool additional equipment

This service takes approximately 1-2 hours depending on data center size and includes the following
activities:

> Count & size raised floor openings to estimate the percentage of bypass airflow
> Measure cabinet air intake temperatures to determine the presence of hotspots
> Measure relative humidity of any identified hotspots
> Sum cooling unit rated cooling capacity and convert from tons to kilo watts (kW)
> Sum cooling unit rated airflow in CFM (cubic feet per minute)
> Sum computing equipment power load in kW
> Determine the presence of latent cooling and its associated Latent Cooling Penalty

After the survey on the data center floor, you will receive:

> On site verbal discussion of findings and recommendations
> Written KoldProfile report detailing findings and recommendations

KoldProfile is necessary for data centers dedicated to improving IT equipment reliability and optimizing critical physical
infrastructure. Learn how capital costs associated with installing additional cooling equipment and operating costs can bereduced, and determine redundant cooling capacity for a high heat density computing equipment installation.


KOLDCHECK
Diagnose Key Data Center Conditions
Examine your data center infrastructure and find out how to regain control of the cooling environment with KoldCheck diagnostic services. Based on what you require, KoldCheck data center experts benchmark your existing conditions and evaluate your computer room to determine ways to optimize your existing cooling investment.

Upon completion of the on-site review, KoldCheck engineers present a comprehensive report, detailed with useful data and recommendations for how to solve existing and projected problems cost effectively.

Comprehensive Analysis of Key Data Center Conditions:
> Cooling conditions—A study of existing cooling conditions, such as rack/cabinet temperatures, measurement of room temperature and humidification patterns, analysis of room recirculation patterns, and benchmarking of cooling unit performance against manufacturer specifications.
> Airflow conditions—Analysis of current airflow conditions, including perforated tile layout, underflow airflow, perimeter breaches, and raised-floor bypass area and bypass airflow volume.
> Critical power conditions—An examination of current power conditions that compares power consumption vs. system capacity, establishes power distribution limits, quantifies rack utilization. Redundant capacity of each sub system is determined.
> General room conditions—An overall assessment that surveys the make-up air system, equipment layout, cabling
management, and room contamination (debris, dust, etc .)
> Infrared (IR) thermal imaging of IT and cooling equipment


Report can include all of the following:
A detailed report is delivered to the client approximately three and one-half weeks after the analysis is completed.
> Estimate of efficiency improvement with elimination of bypass airflow (how many cooling units could be turned off or relocated to eliminate buying additional equipment for future installations)
> Recommendations based on detailed analysis and study of findings including critical vulnerabilities
> Fixed-price quote for KoldTune to implement KoldCheck recommendations
> General business case analysis to calculate investment and return on investment of implementing KoldCheck recommendations
> Calculation of Upsite Coefficient of Effectiveness™
> Tile Flow computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling
