The CoolSim Data Center Thermal Modeling System is built to offer data center managers, IT professionals, and engineers a CFD Airflow Modeling Tool for rapidly acessing "what-if" alternatives of equipment selection, placement, and room configurations on new and existing Data Centers. The benefits of CoolSim Thermal Modeling include:

• CoolSim is priced to meet your usage needs and expectations. There is no need to purchase more than you need with CoolSim.
• CoolSim Airflow Modeling Solutions are based on ANSYS CFD (computational fluid dynamics) technology, the most advanced and widely used commerical simulation software in the word used by 8 of the Fortune 10 companies in the world for designing everything from spacecraft to Formula One racing vehicles. The result is predictable accurate solutions you can trust.
• An easy-to-use interface that requires no prior knowledge of airflow modeling and allows the user to control the color and visibility of data center objects
• A Data Center model assessment report that summarizes model specifications, evaluates airflow and thermal loads in the data center, and warns the user if the airflow rate and/or cooling capacity of the airflow are not adequate
• A comprehensive cooling audit report with detailed analysis of CRAC, rack, and tile airflow performance in HTML form that can be imported into spreadsheets to be shared wtih others to help make critical decisions on how to set up a new data center or revamp an existing site to alleviate cooling problems
• color coded thermal mapping of all rack temperatures in the data centers allowing instant identification of hot servers and verification of rack inlet temperatures against ASHRAE thermal guidelines for maximum allowable temperature
• Visual representations of room airflow patterns and temperature distributions, plenum airflow patterns and pressure distributions, and flow distribution through tiles
• The Ability to run simulations using our secure HPC state-of-the-art computing cluster, thereby offloading complex processing from occupying capacity your internal compute resources allowing multiple design alternative simulations can be run simultaneously.
• A unique subscription fee structure allows users to purchase only the software necessary to perform the expected number of simulations, yet have access the the full capability and support resources of the CoolSim solution.
• The ability to build models on a laptop anywhere in the world, even on an airplane, and upload models for simulation from anywhere high speed internet access is available
• A sales and support from airflow modeling experts with over 15 years of in-depth data center industry knowledge and experience. The CoolSim team represents some of the most extensive experience in the industry in all aspects of airflow modeling and CFD.
