6SigmaRoom: Data Center Design and Operations
Data Center CFD & Physical Capacity Planning

6SigmaRoom is the industry’s leading data center CFD tool. It is part of the 6SigmaDCX software suite,
which integrates IT and engineering operations in capacity planning. Our simulation technology allows you
to safely predict the impact of change on a data center’s resilience, physical capacity and cooling efficiency.
6SigmaRoom can be used at any stage of the data center life-cycle ― from design all the way through to
operations.
Supported by Our Industry-Leading Solver

Data Center Suppliers & Vendors
Our CFD solver is the fastest and most accurate
in the industry. It is one of the many reasons why As a data center infrastructure supplier,
6SigmaRoom is trusted to deliver accurate results for you can use 6SigmaRoom to design
data centers of any size. cooling units, floor grilles, cabinets and
containment systems to maximize
Over the years, we have fine-tuned the solver so it their performance, then prove their
