Patent Images
1. A computer-implemented method for evaluating transient cooling performance of a data center, the method comprising:
- receiving input data from a storage device, the input data including data center architecture information and operating data;
performing real-time transient cooling performance calculations for the data center using the input data, the real-time transient cooling performance calculations include calculating a rate of change of at least one predicted temperature in the data center during a power outage of the data center; and
displaying results of the real-time transient cooling performance calculations in a data center management system, wherein the results include a maximum predicted temperature of the data center following the power outage of the data center.
