Data center design and pre-validation
From an IT load to a design you can check.
SoSo CAD is one workspace for the early design of a data center. Lay out the rooms, build the A and B power chains, fail equipment on purpose, and read every check next to the source it comes from.

What you can do with it
Everything below is in the product today.
Guided draft, then expert control
Start from an IT load and a redundancy target; the guided draft generates rooms, racks, power and cooling equipment. Switch to expert mode and edit anything it made.
Floor plan, rack elevation and 3D
Draw rooms, walls, doors and columns, place equipment from the catalog and route cables. Trace over a DXF, PDF or image underlay. Layout checks flag collisions and blocked service clearances.
A/B power chain
The single-line diagram is built from your model: utility, generator, transfer switch, UPS, switchboards and rack feeds, coloured by feed side, with load and utilisation on every node.
Failure scenarios
Take a UPS, a generator or a feed out of service and see which racks stay supplied and what becomes overloaded. A single-failure sweep tries each component in turn.
Cooling
Heat load and installed cooling per room, with cooling redundancy evaluated by the same engine. Simple, stated sums: no temperatures are predicted.
Standards rule packs with evidence
Select versioned rule packs and get a finding per rule: pass, fail or unknown, with the evidence and the reference behind it. Unknown is never counted as a pass.
Engineering checks with cited sources
Point studies for voltage drop, short circuit, UPS battery runtime, generator and fuel, airflow, inlet air envelope, economizer hours, reliability, PUE and water use. Each shows its inputs, its default values and where they come from.
Knowledge library
Summaries of standards and vendor papers in our own words, short introductory articles and a glossary. “Learn more” links open the relevant passage from the place you are working.
Reports and exports
A PDF pre-design report bound to a saved revision and its calculation run, the bill of materials in Excel, the plan as DXF and the model as IFC4 for BIM tools.
Revisions you can trust
Every save is a revision. Freeze one to make it immutable, compare two revisions, and comment on the design or on a single object.
How a design takes shape
Start
Create a project and answer a few questions in the guided draft: IT load, redundancy, rack density.
Refine
Edit the plan, the power chain and the cooling in expert mode. Replace typical catalog values with manufacturer data.
Stress
Run failure scenarios and the single-failure sweep. Fix what goes dark or overloads.
Check and report
Review rule-pack findings and engineering checks with their sources, freeze the revision and export the report.
A pre-design tool, and clear about it
Results are pre-calculations for an engineer to review. A rule-pack result is a pre-assessment, not a certificate; the checks are simplified studies and do not replace a protection study, a thermal analysis or a signed calculation. The product says so on screen and in every report.
