The Blade Server Readiness Assessment* service provides a data center analysis of the Network Critical Physical Infrastructure (NCPI) components, (Power, Cooling, Facilities, and Rack configurations) for deployment of Blade Servers.
APC’s Global Services Professionals will deliver an accurate assessment of the data center’s NCPI potential to deploy high density rack mounted blade servers within the current infrastructure, and to make recommendations for changes to maximize density. This will include:
- Assessment and analysis of the data center’s as-built capacity for deployment of Blade Servers at the room and row level.
- Assessment of the data center’s as-built power and cooling utilization.
- Detailed recommendations for blade deployment that will compare total blades deployable as a function of cost, scalability and infrastructure changes.
- Identify constraints (customer policies, type of blade servers, power distribution, air distribution, floor space, ability to spread loads) that will hinder high density deployment.
- Thermal imaging to identify hot spots.
