To try and mitigate the issues of capacity
planning, operators are building 50%
more data centres than they need. DCX14
has therefore been developed to be a
data centre digital twin that provides a
comprehensive platform for operations
that can streamline capacity planning,
speed up decision making and enhance
infrastructure performance.
“IT, operations and facilities teams
continue to be under enormous pressure
to deliver capacity as quickly as possible
without running the risk of increased

Issue 11
The latest version of Future Facilities’
data centre digital twin accelerates
the capacity planning process by
unifying IT and facilities under one
platform that spans the entire planning
process. Leveraging toolsets such as
6SigmaAccess and 6SigmaRoom in the
6SigmaDCX suite of products, customers
have already seen satisfaction rates
around their planning process double
within 12 months.
The latest version of this software tackles
core problems in the industry, highlighted
by recent research. For example, the
tension between IT and facilities teams
is leading to greater compromise and
downtime, with 90% of IT operations
teams compromising on capacity.
