A simulation may be displayed (for example, via a GUI) to illustrate the respective cooling-performance assessments of each unit of IT equipment. For example, FIG. 2A illustrates a schematic diagram of a simulation display 200 depicting cooling-performance assessments for each rack in a data center according to an example. The simulation display 200 includes depictions of several racks including a first rack 202, a second rack 204, and a third rack 206, and includes depictions of cooling units, each indicated at 208. A cooling-performance assessment may be determined for each of the racks 202-206 based at least in part on cooling provided by the cooling units 208. As discussed in greater detail below, a cooling-performance may be determined for each of the racks 202-206 automatically and, in some examples, may automatically select and use one or more capture indices in determining the cooling-performance assessments. The simulation display 200 may include a representation of each cooling-performance-assessment classification.
