Future Facilities, the world’s only provider of Predictive DCIM (Data Centre Infrastructure Management) software, has launched a significant update to its powerful and highly-regarded predictive modelling suite, 6SigmaDC.

6SigmaDC is the unique software suite from Future Facilities for datacenter operators, datacenter designers, facilities managers, field engineers and equipment designers, in fact anyone who has an interest in contributing to designing and/or maintaining a model datacenter.

This comprehensive toolset allows you to build and test an entire Virtual Facility (VF) – the holistic 3D mathematical representation of your datacenter at any point in time – past, present and future. Indeed you can use software modules from the suite to check out the configuration at almost any level right down to the design of a specific item of IT equipment.

The VF provides a standard way for any stakeholder to share their ideas, plans and proposals with each other, so not only does it allow one to design or evaluate space, power, cooling and network decisions but the VF provides a great communication methodology between the interested parties. In fact it can be used to coordinate design, planning and implementation throughout the datacenter lifecycle. Here are just some ways in which the 6SigmaDC software can be used, whether for green-field site or day-to-day management.
