PTS
Accepted into Con Edison's New Data Center Energy Efficiency Program
Franklin Lakes, NJ, February 15, 2011 — PTS
Data Center Solutions announced today it has been accepted as a
Market Partner in the Consolidated Edison of New York (Con
Edison) Commercial and Industrial Energy Efficiency Program.
Specifically, PTS’ focus will fall under Con Edison’s new Data
Center Efficiency Program which Con Edison has launched in
conjunction with NYSERDA.
The program is specifically designed to
offer data centers an unprecedented opportunity to reduce
operating costs, improve energy efficiency, and reduce carbon
output. In particular, within Con Edison’s coverage area, PTS
will assess data center operations and make detailed energy
efficiency improvement recommendations of both a facility & IT
infrastructure nature.
New York State contains the second highest
concentration of data centers in the US and a Lawrence Berkley
National Labs study found that data centers in New York consume
an estimated 4.5 billion kWh/year at a cost of $584
million/year. The program looks to support data center operators
who are capacity constrained and/or looking to reduce energy
usage and, therefore, operating expenses.
PTS will leverage its long history in data
center consulting, engineering, infrastructure, construction,
and maintenance to deliver Energy Usage Assessments with clearly
defined energy savings recommendations. These recommendations
may span the facility support infrastructure and IT equipment as
PTS incorporates a comprehensive and holistic approach to data
center analysis and redesign.
PTS President, Peter Sacco, said “PTS is
pleased to join the Con Edison Market Partner Network. We will
provide exceptional Energy Efficiency Assessments supporting our
reputation in the tri-state area as a leading provider of
consulting services related to data center greening and
optimization. We are excited to work with data center providers
who understand the impact successful energy efficiency
improvements will have on the environment.”
Energy savings services offered through the
program include:
- Outreach, Education, and Marketing to recruit data centers into
the initiative;
- Technical Assistance Studies for data center, computer room, and
server room operators interested in identifying their energy
efficiency options;
- Energy
Improvement Installation Incentives to off-set the cost of
energy efficiency improvements. Improvements could include
lighting, cooling, insulation, VFDs, server upgrades,
virtualization, storage consolidation and other energy-related
measures; and,
- Customer Installation Support to provide participating data
centers with a complete package that addresses all energy
related issues critical to their facilities’ operation.
A customized portfolio of energy efficiency
services will be tailored to a data center’s specific energy
needs.
