Simulation based on velocity as calculated by Future Facilities 6SigmaDC Software Suite.

Future Facilities (London, England) offers Release 4 of the 6SigmaDC suite of CFD based software programs, which is developed specifically for data center design and operations. The new release features increased functionality and greater ease-of-use for all products in the 6SigmaDC family including 6SigmaRoom, 6SigmaRack, 6SigmaManager. and 6SigmaViewer.

6SigmaDC release 4 is the next step in establishing the concept of the Virtual Facility as the vehicle for optimal design as well as the day-to-day operation of the modern Mission Critical Facility, says the release. The Virtual Facility concept uses 3D mathematical modeling for scientific validation of design assumptions as well as the assessment of the thermal and environmental impacts as data center equipment is upgraded and refreshed. The new release of 6SigmaDC provides support for sophisticated new flow devices, including an extended range of fans and diffusers to enable a more realistic representation within the Virtual Facility. Other enhancements include the incorporation of an auto recovery feature that can not only help protect the time and costs invested in data center designs, but also ensure against lost productivity.
