ENERGY ADVICE

Within the field of energy consulting, NEXITIC carries out various investment and exploitation studies of the CPD, including analysis of air free-cooling, water free-cooling, analysis of parallelization of equipment in operation, always delving into the profiles of thermal loads of demand and carrying out energy simulations.

The interdisciplinary global vision allows conceiving and developing the best design, always counting the most relevant aspects in the life of a Data Center:

• PUE/ pPUE and Data Center metrics. Not only is the popular PUE (Power Use Efficiency) taken into account with a view to developing the best design and exploitation, but other metrics such as WUE (Water Ussage Effectiveness), ERE (Energy Reuse Efficiency) performance metrics of AFM air.
• Capex/Opex analysis.

CFD ANALYSIS

At NEXITIC we have technological resources to carry out CFD simulations of the Data Center server room. In tune with or independently of the pre-audit and audit work, a team of professionals submits the Data Center to computational analysis of fluids, detecting possible hot spots or "Hot Spots", managing to visualize the behavior of the air, analyzing the flow turbulent in various areas of the raised floor with a view to correcting and improving it. CFD Analysis is excellent as a tool not only for the design of the future Data Center, but also with a view to improving and/or correcting the Data Center in operation. CFD achieves:

• Corrective measures of physical infrastructure in the IT equipment room.
• Corrective measures of temperature/pressure/air flow in equipment, hot aisles and/or cold aisles.
• Palliative measures in the event of a high degree of incorrectness and high consumption/low energy efficiency.
• Predictive measures, with a view to the evolution of the future Data Center according to various power scenarios / growth phases.

DATA CENTER LOCALIZATION CONSULTANCY

The Data Center, as an important asset of the IT company, must use technical tools for selection and design that keep in mind the important aspect of location, in this regard NEXITIC considers the search for the plot a multifactorial set, which with its own formulas manages to adopt the best selection for the client's needs:

• land price
• Connectivity level
• Availability for third parties
• business interaction
• latency
• Taxation of the country of location
• Energy aspects of the area: availability, cost
• Physical security aspects
• Airport proximity
• Logistics
• Physical latitude and free-cooling
• Pollution degree and environmental regulation
• nearby nuclei
• Proximity to renewable sources
• Regulatory-administrative barriers
• civil emergency response
• Public transport
• Expandability
• Job market and degree of specialization of the Data Center

And many other issues that can become capital to find the best solution.

O&M ADVICE;

Operation and maintenance advice is part of our Know How: from the preparation of the white paper, analysis of risks in the event of catastrophe or zero cut; From the first design phase, our specialists keep in mind the particularities that all the Operation and Maintenance work entails in a Data Center.

Depending on the nature, availability, business and degree of criticality of the center, we have a degree of specialization such that we can cover and define the main issues regarding:

At NEXITIC we face the design without losing sight of the operating costs, justifying the return on the original investment.

• O&M considerations; We advise on Operation and Maintenance, and prepare white papers and roadmaps for the implementation of a correct O&M system;
