Infrastructure Optimization Solutions

Measure

Implementing best practices, energy efficient designs, and power saving technologies requires baseline information of your power and cooling usage. Infrastructure Optimization Assessments captures the "data on your data center". Our vendor neutral, holistic approach to Infrastructure Optimization Assessments enables us to identify and quantify issues affecting your data center. Recommendations are categorized for ease of implementation and ROI. Infrastructure Optimization Assessments are used as a "road map for remediation" and are the building blocks for achieving sustainable improvements and efficiency gains.

  • Optimization Assessments
    • Capacity benchmarking
    • CFD modeling
    • Power and cooling efficiency analysis
    • ROI calculations
    • Solution identification, implementation, and project management
    • Metrics analysis
  • Virtualization Readiness Assessments

ECS’ Readiness Assessment is an inexpensive way to verify that your infrastructure can support the dynamic density aspects resulting from any virtualization project.

Design - Build Consulting

Our expertly designed and constructed data centers suit your needs and keep you within budget. We detail the benefits of retrofitting, new build, or outsourcing based on your specific requirements.

Project Management Services

We offer qualified Project Management Services for all our Infrastructure Optimization Solutions. These services compliment your current resources, or we can work on behalf of your organization to manage the entire process.
 

Model

Modeling identifies root causes of major constraints, and enables us to offer the best solutions for remediation. Many data centers have constraints stemming from power, cooling, and overall density issues; ECS Modeling Services can visually and scientifically identify and depict constraints.

Modeling Services are used for failure analysis, redundancy scenarios, and future layout and capacity planning. ECS Modeling Services allow you to visualize the ‘what if’. Virtually move and alter your data center layouts from the floor to the rack to the individual component, then see what effects those changes have.
 

Monitor

Decisions are easier to make with the proper data. ECS’ Monitoring Solutions act as your trusted advisor for your critical environments and take the guess-work out of decision making and planning processes. Our highly scalable, flexible solutions can act as stand-alone systems or integrated into existing monitoring systems. Detailed alarming and alerting features enable visibility by key personnel and support staff, while trending reports and other useful data can be printed for management use. Most Monitoring Solutions are in real-time and provide up-to-the-minute data.
