Reality DC is Cadence's platform for data centers. It covers the design of a new space, an overview of equipment and capacity during operations, and the physics-based model that shows the impact of a change before it is implemented.

PORTFOLIO
The tools you need depend on whether the data center is still being built or is already up and running.
Design · New or Renovated Rooms
The room, cooling, and power supply are calculated using CFD before construction begins. For consultants and designers.
Operations · Shared Platform
The web-based operations platform where IT and facilities management see the same information. Available in two levels: Asset Twin and Digital Twin.
Operations · Equipment and Capacity
An overview of equipment, power, space, weight, and network ports—and a clear answer as to whether new equipment can be installed.
Operations · Physics and Scenarios
Everything in Asset Twin plus CFD, so that cooling and outages can be calculated before a change is made in the actual space.
HOW IT CONNECTS
In the design phase, the space is laid out with cooling systems, power distribution, and equipment. This is where the major decisions are made, and where it is least expensive to make changes.
Once the room is operational, Insight takes over. Equipment, capacity, and power paths are recorded so that the model accurately reflects the room as it currently stands.
With Digital Twin, the operating model can be simulated using CFD. A new installation or a failure is tested in the model before it occurs in reality.

THE FULL SUITE
Ready?
A brief conversation is usually enough to determine which part of Reality DC is right for your situation—and whether you’re setting up a new facility or one that’s already up and running. No sales pitch. No pressure. Just an open conversation about your data center.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
It depends on where you are in the process. If you’re planning to build or renovate, it’s Design. If the facility is already operational, it’s Insight—in the form of Asset Twin, if you need an overview of equipment and capacity, and Digital Twin, if you also want to be able to calculate cooling requirements and downtime.
Asset Twin keeps track of equipment, power, space, weight, and networks. Digital Twin can do all of the same things and also calculates airflow and temperature using CFD, so a change can be tested before it is implemented.
That is the idea behind bringing it all together on a single platform, and the model from the design phase can serve as the starting point for the operational model. How much can be reused depends on how closely the built space matches the design.
Yes. The platform is based on Future Facilities’ data center simulation software, which had been used by data center operators for many years before Cadence acquired the company in 2022.
