on365, a specialist in the planning, installing, management and optimisation of infrastructure and utility services, has announced a partnership with Concurrent Thinking, a leader in data centre infrastructure management software.
The partnership between the two companies aims to provide a complementary product and consultancy service, giving UK businesses a more concise monitoring and management system for optimising energy efficiency within their data centre, as well as access to specialised skills in order to implement identified changes.
on365 managing director, Colin Richardson said: “The data centre industry has moved beyond first generation efficiency measures such as PUE. A much better picture of data centre efficiency is gained by combining information from computing systems with detailed power information.
This allows us to understand how well IT resources are being used, undertake more detailed audits and then identify opportunities for energy savings in a way we couldn’t before. Our collaboration with Concurrent Thinking will enable us to set new standards for energy efficiency at our customer’s data centres.”
Michael Rudgyard, CTO and founder, Concurrent Thinking concludes: “We are delighted to partner up with on365. Not only do they have a wide-reaching track record with large and mid-range firms but are recognised experts within their field. on365’s track record and technical capabilities complement our product portfolio and the partnership will provide a unique opportunity to deliver best-practise solutions in energy management. This will allow data centres to maintain their key IT services while consuming significantly less power and, of course, saving lots of money.”
