Data Center Design AI

Data center design requires extreme precision in power distribution, cooling, and redundancy. AI optimizes the infrastructure design to achieve the target Tier rating (I-IV) while minimizing the capital and operating costs of the mechanical and electrical systems.

Power distribution design for data centers involves complex redundancy calculations — N+1, 2N, or 2(N+1) configurations for UPS systems, generators, and distribution paths. AI evaluates the redundancy architecture against the target availability, calculating the probability of downtime for different configurations and identifying the most cost-effective way to achieve the reliability target.

Cooling optimization is the other major AI application because cooling represents 30-40% of a data center's operating cost. AI evaluates different cooling strategies — raised floor vs. overhead distribution, hot aisle/cold aisle containment, liquid cooling for high-density racks, free cooling using economizers — and optimizes the system design for the facility's specific climate, IT load density, and operating conditions.
