april, 2016 (see video below) -  future facilities north america (future facilities na), the premier provider of engineering simulation software for data center design and operational planning, today announced that belden, a global leader in signal transmission solutions for mission critical applications, has tapped future facilities for its computational fluid dynamics (cfd) modeling and simulation software.

by utilizing future facilities’ 6sigmadcx, belden helps customers to quantify data center performance in terms of its ability to deliver power and cooling to the it load and utilize power and the infrastructure efficiently. most importantly, belden uses simulation to help customers to close the performance gap which can significantly reduce data center operational and capex costs.


many data center owner/operators base their future it decisions on the assumption that their current infrastructure can accommodate the unpredictable changes to data center requirements that the business demands. however, in reality, sole reliance on established systems and institutional best practices often are one of the most common causes of problems for data centers and as they struggle to adapt to new needs.
