Reality DC Design

Test the data center before it is built

Reality DC Design is the tool for data center design and engineering. The room, cooling, and power infrastructure are built as a model and analyzed with CFD, ensuring that the choice of cooling principle, layout, and redundancy is based on calculation rather than rule-of-thumb estimates alone.

The challenge

It costs you time and money

  • The cooling principle is selected before it is verified by calculation
  • Hotspots are only discovered once the room is operational
  • A cooling failure has never been tested
  • Support responses that take days

The solution

We give you control back

  • Cooling principles compared in the model
  • Airflow and temperature calculated before construction begins
  • Failures and load tested in advance
  • Local hotline with responses from a specialist on the same day

HOW IT WORKS

The room verified through calculation before it turns into concrete

The model is built from real componentsA library of vendor equipment — cooling units, racks, and power infrastructure — ensures the model is built from what will actually be placed in the room.
CFD visualizes air and heatAirflow and temperature are calculated in three dimensions, showing clearly where cooling works and where it fails to reach.
Scenarios instead of a single solutionDifferent layouts, cooling principles, and failure scenarios are analyzed on the same model, allowing decisions to be made on a directly comparable basis.

VALUE

Reality DC Design covers engineering from layout to reporting

Cooling, power, failures, and documentation analyzed on the same model before construction begins.

Cooling

The cooling principle is the most expensive decision to change afterward.

Airflow and temperatureCalculated in three dimensions
Multiple cooling principlesRaised floor, in-row, adiabatic, and liquid cooling
HotspotsIdentified on the drawing board

Power distribution

The power path must hold, even when part of it fails.

Implementation

How Reality DC Design works in practice

Cadence provides the tool. Nordcad helps you ensure the model answers the specific questions of your project.

Start with the question that needs to be resolved

A cooling principle, a layout, or a redundancy strategy. This gives the model a clear purpose from the start and turns the result into a reliable decision base.

Guidance on the model's level of detail

How detailed the room needs to be modeled depends on what needs to be decided. We advise on what needs to be included and what can wait.

Local expertise and ongoing support

You get access to local specialists in the Nordics with practical experience in CFD and thermal analysis. A technical question receives an answer the same day.

A brief conversation is usually enough to clarify whether Design fits your project. No pitch. No pressure. Just a direct technical discussion about the room to be built.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Typically consulting engineers and data center designers, as well as facility owners planning modifications to an already operating room.

Yes, for retrofits, modifications, or expansions. If the room needs continuous monitoring during daily operations, Insight is the appropriate solution.

Yes, in several tiers with varying computational capacity. Which one is suitable depends on the size of your projects and what needs to be calculated.

Design is used before the room is built. Digital Twin is used during operation and is kept updated with live data from the room. Both rely on CFD, but they answer questions in different phases.
