First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for evaluating equipment in an improper cluster in a data center, the equipment including a plurality of equipment racks, and at least one cooling provider, the method comprising:
- receiving data regarding each of the plurality of equipment racks and the at least one cooling provider, the data including a layout of the improper cluster of equipment racks and the at least one cooling provider;
storing the received data;
identifying at least one gap in the layout;
determining cooling performance of at least one of the plurality of equipment racks based, at least in part, on characteristics of the at least one gap; and
displaying the layout of the data center, wherein the layout includes an indication of the cooling performance of the at least one of the plurality of equipment racks.
