Resiliency Testing

Assess your ability to maintain operations during a cooling system failure. Our real-time regression analysis predicts how long it will take for temperatures to reach critical thresholds - without compromising live operations.

How it Works

Step 1: Conduct Targeted Cooling Shutdown

Purkay Labs deploys up to 20 AUDIT-BUDDY stands around one CRAC unit at a time to measure temperature and humidity across critical areas. This ensures that data is collected in real-time from the zone most affected by the cooling unit, providing detailed insights into how the system is performing.

Step 2: Predictive Analysis

Using the collected data, Purkay Labs' predictive analysis predict how long it will take for temperatures to reach predefined thresholds. The system updates every minute, adjusting projections to offer real-time analysis of potential failure scenarios.

Step 3: Actionable Insights

Once the predicted time to failure drops below a safe threshold, the test is stopped, and cooling units are restored. Purkay Labs generates a comprehensive report highlighting vulnerabilities, offering practical steps to enhance cooling resiliency and prevent future risks.

This structure ensures that potential failure scenarios are tested without risking system uptime, helping data center operators make informed decisions about cooling infrastructure.

What is Purkay Labs’ Predictive Analysis?

Purkay Labs’ predictive analysis collects real-time data from multiple sensors to monitor temperature changes in your data center. Using a linear regression equation (y = mx + b), the system predicts the time it will take for temperatures to reach a critical threshold, such as 80.6°F. The time to reach this limit, along with a confidence percentage, is updated every minute. If the projected time falls below 1 hour, the cooling unit is turned back on to prevent temperatures from exceeding safe operational limits.
