Judge The Health Of Your Data Center’s Power & Cooling
Electronic Environments Data Center Assessment Services
|
| 
Evaluate your data center or server room’s power and cooling utilization, energy efficiency, and long-term capabilities.

The power and cooling infrastructure in your data center or server room plays a big role in your facility’s reliability, efficiency, and capabilities. Data Center Assessment Services from EEC (Electronic Environments Corp.) can help you determine your facility's operating condition, so you can make informed decisions about your data center’s needs.
“A data center assessment provides the client with baseline information on their infrastructure that can be used to identify opportunities to improve energy efficiency and increase systems reliability,” says Jim Stark, design/build manager at EEC.
EEC’s data center assessment services are available in three different levels, each designed to provide an increasing amount of information about your facility:
Level 1 Data Center Health Check. Provides an overview of your power and cooling infrastructure and offers recommendations for improvement. Includes a checklist report.
Level 2 Intermediate Data Center Assessment. Uses airflow management and infrared imaging to present information about rack-level cooling and your room’s overall power and cooling capacity and utilization. Includes rack temperatures and IR scans.
Level 3 Comprehensive Data Center Assessment. Provides a comprehensive analysis based on electrical distribution load readings at the rack level. Covers IR scanning of electrical panels as well as air distribution analysis.
“The Level 1 and 2 assessments are noninvasive, whereas the Level 3 assessments will likely require off-hours work to open electrical panels for electrical readings and IR scans,” says Stark.
With any assessment, services such as a CFD analysis, single point of failure analysis, or power quality analysis can be added to configure a package that suits your budget and business needs.
