for data center design & operations, using physics-based 3D digital twins
Cadence software virtualizes the entire data center ecosystem: your components, your data center, your power and cooling network; everything!
Features
A virtual prototype of the entire IT & facility infrastructure. A digital replica of all physical assets, processes, systems & devices. The digital twin model is calibrated to reflect its physical counterpart accurately.
Simulates modern control systems (VFDs), secondary configurations, group / staged controls using temperature, pressure, humidity, or velocity sensors.
Optimal layout for new IT by CFD:
1. Rack Space & Weight 2. Cabinet Power Limit 3. Cooling 4. Air-Flow 5. Power Distribution 6. Thermal Safety Margins 7. Data Network.
For each: Required / Available
May be connected to live data from any BMS & DCIM.
Manage, visualise & predict availability, capacity, efficiency & impact of change, by visualising & quantifying performance.
Models any data center configuration, or cooling strategy, (raised floors, fans, adiabatic evaporative, liquid cooling..
Integrates with environmental monitoring systems, ticketing SW, etc.

Thésée DataCenter is providing a sovereign, eco-responsible, colocation data center with the best level of security and availability at a competitive price. With six data center halls, the facility is aimed at mixed and high-density server hosting but in an energy-efficient manner. Their vision is to offer a home-away-from-home data center experience to their customers as if it were their own facility. To do so, they’re using the 6Sigma DCX suite to validate their designs and guarantee the service-level objective of their customers. (2022)
