Applications
Data Center Solutions Across Industry Verticals
The challenges faced by different types of data centers can vary widely depending on their scale, purpose, and technology infrastructure. Each type of data center, whether enterprise, colocation, hyperscale, or on-premises, encounters these challenges in different magnitudes and requires tailored strategies to overcome them effectively.
Enterprise
Large global automotive, healthcare, finance, and aerospace companies use Cadence’s data center software to design and operate their data centers effectively. Our data center software helps enterprises accurately and quickly balance risk, capacity, and efficiency. To ensure smooth operations, the software can seamlessly integrate with existing DCIM and monitoring systems to give a continuous and accurate view of the live data center.
Colocation
Achieving a streamlined selling process to keep up with demand and maximized capacity across the colocation portfolio is easier said than done. Cadence’s data center software can help. With built-in colocation features, our data center software automates previously tedious, often difficult tasks to help colocation teams optimize capacity and mitigate risk. Colocation data centers can use simulation data to make informed, reliable decisions and ultimately operate more confidently.
Hyperscale
To successfully meet the growing computing demands of new technologies, such as AI/ML, hyperscale owner-operators must eliminate the uncertainty caused by new assets and infrastructural changes. Cadence’s data center software helps organizations predict and plan for the impact of these changes to ensure critical goals are met without overspending on design and operations. The software provides a holistic, physics-based solution from chip to chiller that cross-functional teams can use to mitigate risk and safeguard business continuity.
Consultants
Consultants can troubleshoot and improve data center design—internally and externally—using Cadence’s data center software. The software is packed with features that streamline the model creation process and provide a complete overview of data center cooling, airflow, and power. With over 8,500 library items of data center-specific equipment and a powerful computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solver, it’s easy to build digital twin models, simulate data center cooling and power, and demonstrate design concepts to clients all within one platform.
Vendors
Creating powerful, resilient equipment is already complex and time-consuming, but ensuring this equipment can perform well across various data center configurations adds another level of complexity to the design process. Cadence’s physics-based simulation software empowers data center vendors with the ability to model equipment and assess the equipment’s performance in a virtual data center environment. Without divulging details of the system, vendors can also include characterized models of their equipment as part of Cadence’s library, so other data center teams can easily demonstrate the performance of the equipment within their unique data center configuration.
