During taking place in Santa Clara, California, the USA, during the period from May 14 to May 17 of a symposium the well-known Uptime Institute declared winners of annual international contest of Green Enterprise IT Awards 2012 (GEIT). The institute known for the initiatives in the field of reliability augmentation and uninterrupted availability of DPC, notes a prestigious award projects, products and just the ideas which result of implementation was a substantial increase of efficiency of consumption of energy and other resources in DPC, the IT field and beyond its limits.
The "Implementation of the Innovative Technologies of Energy Saving in Infrastructure of the Enterprise" nomination in which the jury defined the most energy efficient DPCs is of particular interest. The first prize was won by the Canadian telecommunication company Bell Canada with the draft of geographically focused concept of the direct cooling of IT systems which is based on climatic and ecological features of the North of Canada. By calculations, the indicator of energy efficiency of Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) will be 1.26 that will be approved by problem definition at construction of the facility.
The so-called MEGADPC of Sberbank of Russia took the second place in the nomination with an indicator of PUE at the level of 1.32. The name is not accidental, it is really biggest certified Uptime Institute on compliance to the TIA-942 TIER III standard of DPC in the region and one of the largest on the continent, its area reaches 5 thousand sq.m. In it for cooling it is used the unique modules Plate Exchange Air Handling Units (PAHU), analogs which are not present in the whole Europe yet.
Especially It should be noted Yahoo Compute Coop (YCC) which managed to construct already several months the DPC working trouble-free with passive cooling. Heat in it is taken away on the known free cooling technology, it assumes cooling at the expense of air with ambient temperature. The new DPC of Yahoo! does without active cooling of 98% of time in a year. The company with the symbolical name Digital Reality threatened on construction of DPC with 100% passive cooling at all. It will be placed in the located in Dublin, Ireland, four certain buildings on the area nearly 18 thousand sq.m, its power will be about 11.5 MW. The indicator of energy efficiency should not exceed 1.12.
Won against Open Compute Project within which Facebook offered all interested companies on a nonprofit basis of a message exchange of the ideas on increase in energy efficient DPCs the Outstanding Idea nomination.
Won the Project implementation nomination constructed all for a year of DPC for Verizon operator. Its power of 2.4 MW, scaling up to 9.6 MW is in the long term provided.
Known NTT Communications telecom operator won against one more the Implementing solutions nomination. Using solutions of Vigilent it managed to virtualize the cooling system in DPC in the territory of the USA and to increase its energy efficiency.
Evolution of the belonging NASA of DPC of National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC), as it appears from the name intended for studying of snow and ice brought to this organization a victory in the "Upgrade of Engineering Infrastructure of DPC" nomination. As a result of project implementation it was succeeded to save to reduce energy consumption for 90% in winter season.
Won the production company which wished to remain unnamed with a large number of the unrolled SAP applications and Oracle the Implementation of the IT System nomination. It managed to increase performance of work with DBMS, in the first, due to implementation of DWH consisting only of flash drives.
In the "Upgrade of IT Infrastructure of DPC" nomination won against DPC of HP research center Bangalore, India. In three-year perspective economy about $20 million on accounts for the electric power and reduction of emissions of a carbon dioxide gas in the atmosphere approximately on 115 thousand tons should become a project deliverable.
At last, won against eBay which implemented the solution Dell Modular Data Center (MDC) the Modular DPC nomination. Its application was required to meet very short time of project implementation of the main DPC.
