Data Centers
Shrader Engineering provides specialized engineering services to support the data center infrastructure in today’s digitally-driven, data critical economy. We understand the true value of data and the massive impact that data center failures may have - not only on an organization, but on the community as a whole.
Our seasoned engineers incorporate proven techniques for information technology systems development, including both power distribution and redundancy. We carefully coordinate equipment rack loads and associated power requirements to accurately meet the present and future needs of a facility.
Shrader engineers routinely work and collaborate with today’s leading environmental control specialists in the selection and specification of reliable air conditioning and humidity control systems, keeping the level of redundancy necessary to ensure facilities are operating continuously (and efficiently) under all conditions.
Our firm utilizes Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) thermal modeling and mapping software to analyze the effectiveness of cooling within the racks and aisles. CFD provides a detailed three dimensional analysis of how cold air is moving through a data center, identifying potential “hot spots” where equipment is receiving too little or too much airflow.
As power consumption continues to grow within our digital society, all aspects of the data center power distribution and HVAC system are carefully analyzed to ensure required capacities are provided in the most energy efficient means possible.
