Case-Study Abstract/Summary
Kaiser Permanente was charged with deploying new equipment that exceeded the current design capacity of their data centers, without incurring any new CapEx for the next 4 years. Hear the end-user, solution provider, and service provider share how they harnessed digital twin technology to construct a simulation model that removed uncertainty, enabling them to accurately predict the impact of the additional workloads, including new high-density IT, and raise cabinet power loads, all while decreasing the risk to data center operations. This technology is particularly useful in data centers that are nearly full, enabling them to exceed design specs safely, shrink buffer capacity, and extend the useful life of the site.
Takeaway
Learn how Kaiser Permanente:
1. Achieved the accurate, ongoing operational visibility required to assimilate change into their data centers simply, efficiently, and optimally.
2. Utilized a digital twin of their data centers to achieve certainty, enabling them to increase load efficiently, and sustainably while actually reducing risk.
3. Is now working to further optimize performance, achieving their desired balance of resilience and efficiency, and doing it all simply
