High Performance Computing

The focus of this group is the design of environments capable of protecting a facility’s most valuable assets. Understanding our client’s needs and goals, applying sound engineering practice, and utilizing evolving technologies enables the HPC Specialty Group to create fault tolerant and high-availability infrastructure.

Design approach is specific to need and decades of engineering experience and analysis coupled with state-of-the- art tools and computer software enhances best design practice. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and short- circuit coordination (SCC) studies are among the tools that allow Vanderweil to design the most effective cooling system or most robust power scheme.

Design elements include:

  • Hot-aisle and rack containment:
  • In-row and perimeter cooling:
  • Rear-door heat exchanger systems:
  • Thermal storage:
  • Paralleled stand-by and co-generation:
  • Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems, including multi-module flywheel, rotary and traditional battery topologies
  • Vanderweil Engineers will analyze the HVAC and electrical system for risk analysis, redundancy, quality, maintainability and scalability. Evaluating the complete operational profile will enable Vanderweil to provide the most effective solution. Expertise includes:

• Container solutions
• Data centers and server rooms
• High-performance computing (HPC) environments
• Sensitive Compartmented Information Facilities (SCIFs)
• Tiered facilities, multiple layers of redundancy
