Celsius uses advanced laser technology and fibre-optics to create high definition temperature maps of data centre server racks and power transmission equipment. New real-time information will enable data centre staff to improve cooling efficiency. Through better energy usage, mid-size data centres can target a 10-30% reduction in electricity bills, and reduce carbon emissions by up to 2,000 tonnes per annum. The UK Department of Energy and Climate Change awarded Alquist a contract in Spring 2013, administered by the UK’s innovation agency, the Technology Strategy Board, to refine and retrofit the technology in two large data centres.
Interxion has a longstanding emphasis on responsible resource management and constantly innovates to optimise energy efficiency, reduce carbon emissions and cut waste. Currently over 50% of Interxion’s power comes from renewable sources and the company was recently awarded Green IT’s prize for IT operator of the year.
Alquist’s innovative temperature monitoring technology targets a high-growth market where the UK, with over £3bn invested in 2011, is the world’s third largest player. Data centres are forecast to consume 6% of UK electricity by 2020, and UK suppliers lead globally in developing Green Data Centre solutions.
Alquist chairman Toby Burton said, “We are excited that Interxion, a well-respected pioneer in the data centre industry, has chosen to take part in this path-breaking pilot programme and deploy Celsius at its leading edge London facility. This technology brings huge potential for CO2 reduction across the industry, and Interxion will be a great partner in demonstrating and publicizing its benefits.”
Interxion’s Chief Marketing Officer Kevin Dean said, “Being at the forefront of energy efficiency has always been a desire of Interxion and this pilot further reinforces this. We look forward to being involved within the project and working with Alquist and the Government to drive efficiencies across the data centre industry.”
Schneider-Electric Director of Business Development Andy Roberts said, “Our customers want to optimise energy usage, and use available power for powering IT equipment rather than for cooling. Schneider Electric’s StruxureWare management suite, together with Celsius’ powerful monitoring capability, can help them achieve this.”
