73% savings in cooling energy achieved at software company

Vigilent, a leader in intelligent energy management systems for data centres, telecommunications facilities and large, commercial buildings, has successfully teamed with Informatica, the world’s number one independent leader in data integration software, to achieve a whopping 73 percent reduction in its data centre energy usage

Vigilent systems have reduced Informatica cooling energy consumption by 250,000 kWh per year, eliminating 333,370 pounds of carbon dioxide emissions through deployment of the Vigilent Intelligent Energy Management System at Informatica primary data centre.

Equally important, according to Informatica, are the on-going insights provided by Vigilent analytical tools which have shed light on the timing and duration of heavy IT loads, and provide actionable data, along with the control, required for more efficient IT load balancing in real-time.

“The Vigilent system was deployed as part of our corporate initiative to minimize our carbon footprint, energy consumption and related costs aggressively and responsibly throughout our real estate portfolio,” said Diego Cremona, facilities manager, Informatica. “Vigilent not only helped Informatica achieve our carbon dioxide reduction goals, without interrupting or affecting the performance of our mission-critical data centre, but captured data that has been essential in documenting our overall energy and carbon dioxide reductions.”

According to Vigilent, its system is uniquely able to deliver improved data centre infrastructure management and energy savings through dynamic, automated control of extremely complex cooling environments.

Using a wireless mesh network of sensors, data is continually collected from hundreds to a thousand or more locations. The resulting big data is aggregated and incorporated within a sophisticated model powered by artificial intelligence technology. The advanced artificial intelligence engine analyses this incoming data to understand and predict the individual interactions, as well as the group behaviour, of all of the air handling units within a facility, constantly and in real time. Cooling and air handling resources are then dynamically adjusted for maximum efficiency, responding to changing IT loads and other environmental changes.

“Informatica’s environmental stewardship is well-proven in the breadth of initiatives supported by the company’s green initiatives,” said Dan Mascola, Vigilent Product Marketing Manager. “We’re pleased that Vigilent technology proved to be a key factor in achieving their aggressive sustainability goals, which quickly paid for themselves through immediate savings in cooling energy.”
