Synapsense Wins Singapore Green Data Center Challenge

Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) provider Synapsense teamed up yesterday with Equinix and Custom Mechanical Systems to draft a proposal which ended up netting them the Singapore Green Data Center Innovation Challenge. Sponsored by the Infocomm Development Authority (IDA) of Singapore, the competition was designed to help the government improve energy efficiency in their green data center sector. The green data center proposal from Synapsense and Equinix, termed the "SG1 Cooling Energy Efficiency Project," was chosen on the basis of "the level of innovation and the degree of viability, achievability and practicality; as well as impact in terms of improvement in green data center energy efficiency and projected green data center cost savings." The proposed project, which is slated to be finished by December, will automate the management of data center cooling through Synapsense's real-time monitoring/Active Control green data center solution, and will save the Singapore government somewhere around $700,000 a year in energy costs. It will also feature the first implementation of Singapore's SS564 Green Data Center Standard's energy metrics.

Press Release- Green Data Center Conference London
