Company Upsite Technologies, which is a recognized leader in providing solutions for the organization and management of the air flow inside the data center, today announced a collaboration with a consortium of The Green Grid. The international consortium, which includes companies, government agencies, educational institutions and individuals engaged in promoting the concept of resource efficiency in data centers and IT.
Founded by industry pioneer data center Kenneth Brill, the company Upsite Technologies plays an important role in the development of data centers, raising awareness of IT-specialists about the importance of proper management of air flows inside the turbine building. Experts of the company, a mechanism enabling owners and operators of data centers to increase the efficiency of data centers while reducing costs. In addition to optimizing the air flows inside the data center in the sphere of interest of the company includes improving the efficiency of lighting systems.
Over the past few years Upsite Technologies offers everyone to get acquainted with the best practices in the field of optimization of air flow inside the data center, publishing white papers and case studies, as well as providing third parties access to highly functional tools.For example, recently Upsite Technologies has released a free and simple tool Cooling Capacity Factor Calculator , which allows operators to evaluate data center cooling capacity of the corresponding elements of the supporting infrastructure.
Already, the company Upsite Technologies is an active participant in the working group Utility Task Force as part of the consortium The Green Grid. The main objective of this working group is dragged along to help utilities and power companies and their customers in the field of energy savings (members of the working group to consult on a quantitative evaluation of the implementation of energy efficient technologies). As part of this initiative, experts advise Upsite Technologies IT-specialists on optimizing air flow in the machine data center.
“The Green Grid Consortium is committed to providing everyone recommendations on advanced metrics and technologies that will improve the overall efficiency of data centers and the best use of available resources. By joining The Green Grid, Upsite Technologies will help us to influence both developers and IT-support infrastructure, and the operators of data centers, “according to an official press release, The Green Grid.
