Achieving Energy Efficiency in the Green Data Centre
Active Power to Speak at London Datacentre Energy Dynamics 2007
AUSTIN, Texas, Feb. 28 -- Active Power, Inc. (NASDAQ:ACPW), inventor and manufacturer of the most reliable and energy- efficient critical power systems in the world, is honored to participate today in the Datacentre Energy Dynamics event. The company was invited to participate in a special seminar geared towards addressing the rising concern for power efficiency and sustainability in the data centre.
A distinguished panel of experts, including Active Power's Vice President of EMEA operations, will discuss the most significant challenges that face designers of green facilities.
"The simple fact is that the data centre is typically a large consumer of energy and the baseline requirements to support the operating infrastructure as well as the need for redundant systems drive the energy consumption of the facility. We believe there are ways to minimize consumption and more importantly reduce energy losses through the deployment of alternative technologies that maximize energy efficiency in the critical power infrastructure. We are pleased to share these insights at the conference today," said Jim Clishem, President and CEO of Active Power.
"Efficiency, reliability and environmental responsibility are nearly impossible to separate in today's data centres. They are equally as challenging to achieve, especially on a collective basis. Active Power is prepared to assist our data centre clients in achieving all three when they deploy one of our power-dense, flywheel-based critical power solutions that deliver up to 98% energy efficiency to the data centre floor. A highly reliable and efficient solution from Active Power reduces operational energy losses while delivering a great contribution to the environment through reducing overall energy consumption, avoiding toxic lead-acid batteries, and minimizing carbon dioxide emissions," said Mr. Clishem.
The panel will explore these issues as well as performance per watt, which is a critical component of buying criteria for those looking to build new centres or manage existing data centre operations. The event is being held at the Royal Lancaster Hotel in London and is attended by experts who design, build and manage data centre operations.
