Product Overview
Cadence Reality DC Design
Physics-based simulation software for data center design using digital twin models. The software leverages CFD simulation to facilitate design from conceptual prototyping through to detailed design of the data center
Overview
Introduction
Cadence Reality DC (formerly Future Facilities 6SigmaDCX product line) is a software platform for performance-aware design and operational planning of data centers through digital twin technology. The offering consists of two software solutions that enable designers, owners, and operators to balance the need for reliability and efficiency in data centers.
Cadence Reality DC Design enables engineers to design the next generation of data centers, inside and out, with physics-based simulation powered by computational fluid dynamics (CFD).
Cadence Reality DC Insight allows IT and Facilities Management Teams to collaborate on data center energy and performance optimization via a web-based portal when the data center is operational.
Cadence Reality DC Design enables the creation of fast and accurate data center digital twin models. These models are a virtual representation of an existing or future data center. They can be used to explore multiple design configurations and failure scenarios to fine-tune the overall approach to new data center design or reimagine existing legacy data centers. Companies can reduce costs and minimize failures while pursuing their sustainability goals by working in a virtual environment to maximize data center resilience, physical capacity, and cooling efficiency. Cadence Reality DC Design comes in three configurations: Essential, Advanced, and Pro.
Choosing the Right Software Configuration
-
Essential – This entry-level software package is for conceptual data center design and offers data center modeling to cabinet-level with eight-core solving capability. This package best suits designers working on less complex models with conceptual design data. - Advanced – This software configuration enables simulation of the next generation of data centers, inside and out, with 32-core solving capability. This package is for advanced users who model complex data center environments to the cabinet and IT level using time-based simulations, 3D CAD integrations, and building information modeling (BIM). This option can simulate both the internal data center space and the external environment.
- Pro – This fully comprehensive software suite offers best-in-class design software for simulating the complete data center ecosystem from chip to chiller with 32-core solving capability. This package provides all prior package functionalities, adding power, flow, data network, and weight modeling capability. The Pro package also enables the automation of tasks such as solving and reporting, including integrating with other tools and importing data for model updates.
