Giving You the Planning Support You Need To Succeed

Many organizations are faced with data center facilities that will soon run out of space, power, cooling or perhaps a combination of all three. Others may have too many server enclosures, computer rooms and small data centers in various locations that must be consolidated to more reliable, secure and efficient facilities. At Dell, we provide broad data center design services that offer a prescriptive methodology to help you create a more energy efficient data center.

Dell Global Infrastructure Consulting can help you extend the life of your existing facilities through rightsizing data center capacity and factoring in best practices for energy efficiency. More than just a building plan, our design includes an analysis of the technology requirements of your organization. A Dell technology requirements analysis can help you create a customized, optimized data center infrastructure to support your specific IT processing needs.

You get experienced, dedicated design teams to establish a resilient data center based on your requirements. Key services include:

  • Cooling
  • Space modeling
  • Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis  
  • Power capacity modeling
  • Failure mode and data center refit and design

By analyzing your current data center, we will build a solution to a more efficient infrastructure. Dell provides the tools you need to help measure the financial and technical advantages of moving to a virtualized or high-density environment, or implementing a more efficient infrastructure scheme.
