Human Error Management (HEM) in the Data Center: For years the industry has known that 70% of data center outages are caused by Human Error, yet none of the data center standards address this issue beyond a slight acknowledgement. Or, there are some standards that focus on “operations” and believe they address Human Error, but they really don’t. The first mistake in Error Management is the belief that error reduction is the focus. It is not. Error Management acknowledges that errors occur, and provides for “intervention strategy” to mitigate the error after it occurs. GDCE are pioneers in this field, and continue to push the Human Error Management agenda, with the belief that outages caused by human error can be prevented. Read More Here!
Computational Fluid Dynamics: Few things are more critical in a data center than its cooling. There is more to cooling efficiency than simply putting one more air conditioning unit into the room than there are kilowatts of load. In fact, many rooms perform very poorly due to flaws in air movement within a room. GDCE are a global leader in CFD modeling, simulation and analysis, utilizing FutureFacilities leading modeling tools, we model both inside the data center, and outside for maximum optimization of the data center cooling. We reduce cost by reducing energy utilized, while maximizing capacity by removing barriers to optimal heat extraction. To learn more about how we can help with your CFD needs Read More Here!
TIA-942 Data Center Certification: In the competitive data center market, having a globally recognized certification of the facility design and build adds value. How? In several ways. First, it shows your clients and potential clients that you take your data center seriously. A data center certification provides independent 3rd party validation that it meets the criteria of rigorous standards like TIA-942. GDCE are experienced in assessing the design and facility requirements utilizing a stringent ISO 19011 audit process, ensuring facility meets the criteria for the selected rating. Whether currently in design stage, or an as-built facility, GDCE can boost your credibility, and provide you with detailed audit reporting that provides potential clients with value add like reducing the due diligence time, while ensuring the data center has the robustness they expect. Let GDCE help you close sales faster with a DC certification that meets your needs. Read More Here!
