Webinar Segment Will Highlight a Case Study From a National Retail Chain and Provide Tools to Prevent and Reclaim Lost Data Center Capacity
SAN JOSE, CA–(Marketwire – Jan 22, 2013) – Future Facilities North America, a leading provider of data center design and operations management software, today announced that its General Manager for North America, Sherman Ikemoto will be participating in the Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) Academy on Wednesday, January 30th to discuss the pitfalls of lost data center capacity.
At $10M to $30M per megawatt, IT compute capacity is a major capital investment for any company. After the investment has been made, each unit of capacity must be put to good use in the same way that companies need production from each employee. However, the typical yield rate for data center compute capacity is only seventy percent. The reason for lost capacity is non-optimal operational practices that fragment IT resources, making them unavailable to the IT equipment.
During this installment of DCIM Academy, Mr. Ikemoto will discuss how a large enterprise data center for a retail chain was able to mitigate lost data center capacity after discovering that its data center was operating at forty percent under assumed load. Determining that non-optimal airflow was the primary cause of the lost capacity, Future Facilities worked with the company to develop a mitigation strategy based on the simulation of power and cooling.
