When Compass Datacenters™ wanted a tool to let them confidently capacity plan, they chose the Virtual Facility. As a colocator whose disaster-resistant, future-proofed data centers have met with critical acclaim, the company has used the Virtual Facility from their first day of trading to design and commission DCs that maximize revenue and ensure that service level agreements (SLAs) remain unbreached.

When CBRE’s global finance customer wanted to improve energy efficiency in a Tier IV data center - without compromising availability or sacrificing capacity - they selected the Virtual Facility to make it happen. They safely assessed and evaluated a wide range of improvement plans, saving the bank an estimated $10+ million through combined efficiency and capacity gains in a single data center.

When RED Engineering designed a state-of-the-art rooftop plant for a Tier III 40,000 ft2 data center, they wanted to use the latest technology advances in cooling systems and design techniques. They used the Virtual Facility to model the external environment and run simulations to ensure that the cooling system they designed would deliver the required capacity and resilience.

When Upsite Technologies - leaders in data center airflow management - sought to design and market their unique AisleLok® Modular Containment system, they turned to the Virtual Facility. Harnessing the power of CFD simulation, Upsite’s designers took AisleLok from concept to production in less than a year. In doing so, they enjoyed significant returns on investment measured in time, money and competitive advantage.
