Verizon Uses Vigilent Cooling Systems to Reduce Energy Consumption at Data Centers

(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- IT infrastructure provider Verizon (www.verizonbusiness.com) announced on Friday it has significantly reduced energy consumption and carbon emissions at 24 of its US data centers by using intelligent energy-management systems from Vigilent (www.vigilent.com).

Vigilent energy management systems consist of hundreds of wireless temperature sensors at each data center that are connected through an intelligent mesh network to on-site servers using energy management software.

The systems enabled Verizon to turn off about 40 percent of the computer room air conditioners in these data centers within two days of implementing the energy management systems, which instantly reduced energy consumption and saved more than 55 million kilowatts annually.
