CLIENT REFERENCES

Below are some references from CoolSim clients who have been kind enough to shout about how great CoolSim is.  Of course, plenty of other satisfied CoolSim users prefer to keep quiet about this technology for fear of losing their competitive advantage.  If you are using CoolSim and would like to add your CoolSim comments to those below, please email us at enquiries@meritum-tech.com.

I've been a user of CFD software for several years in my data center consulting business. Prior to being introduced to CoolSim a year ago, I had been using another industry-leading CFD package and had grown quite dependant on the information it provided me. When I tried out CoolSim, I was delighted to see how easy it was to use, how much more affordable it was than the other package. I also loved how much more flexible it was to use since it did not require a heavy-duty PC to do the computations on.  At first, I was nervous about the pay-for-compute-time model, but after completing a few models, I quickly realized that it was a very affordable and effective way to manage my company's licensing costs. 

I had a nail-biter experience recently in which CoolSim came through with flying colors. We were doing a CFD modeling job for an important client, and we were doing a phased approach. First we modeled and provided a baseline report which showed their data center as it is today. We submitted the baseline report and waited to receive their first batch of CRAC placement changes for us to model. Instead, we were informed that they were going to do a physical on-site temperature and air flow audit to check our findings before proceeding with any other work. Needless to say, I was a bit worried. Their site was fairly large (18K sq.ft.) and quite full, and very complex in it's air flow and heat load. The opportunity for modeling error was worrisome. I never doubted the software, but I was concerned about how accurately the room had been modeled. When their findings came back, they found that the model reflected the actual room characteristics with a high degree of accuracy. WHEW!! Thank you CoolSim!!

There's more I could share. It's a great product and a great company. I highly recommend both!

When a major pharmaceutical company hired us to improve the thermal performance of their 9,000 square foot data center, I was excited but at the same time I was reluctant since their expectations included CFD. My fear was that building the model of their twenty-year-old data center would be extraordinarily time consuming, we would have inadequate technical support from the CFD software provider, and output would prove difficult to relate to the actual conditions. After researching the performance and evaluating demonstrations from several CDF software providers, we selected Coolsim by Applied Math Modeling, Inc. We liked that Applied Math Modeling specialized in CFD software for data centers. Additionally, Coolsim's interface was straightforward and its output had all the features we felt that we needed to evaluate our design options. After a few hours developing the model, I was certain that we chose the right software. The model building was easy and Applied Math Modeling's technical support was outstanding. As we proceeded with the project, the model of the existing data center matched the conditions that we witnessed and we are able model alternatives to correct their problems. At a meeting, our client's engineering staff and the data center's manager was blown away by Coolsim's graphics and reports. It was clear that without the effort modeling the system, we would be unlikely to affect the design changes that would optimize their system's thermal performance. The investment in the CFD models was a small cost for this insurance.

CoolSim 3.1 is the best yet! I have tried it on both new projects and previous rooms, and it performs extremely well even when I throw it some curves. CoolSim 3.1 is another great step forward with a great product. This tool is exactly what I need to help my customers improve data center energy efficiency with regard to precision cooling and advanced heat removal. Keep up the good work!
