“With our highly engineered products and services, our goal is to greatly improve the environmental and economic picture of the worldwide data center, so we were thrilled to share our knowledge of best practice data center operation and potentially forge new business alliances,” says Peter Crook, executive vice president of business development for Upsite Technologies.
Drawing on its extensive background in and knowledge of the data center industry, Upsite presented the key aspects of optimal data center operation to Eco²st.
These included cooling and airflow science and best practice KoldLok Raised Floor Grommets and IT equipment server HotLok Blanking Panel solutions.
The team will then present their research findings to LG on how to establish a model energy-efficient data center.
The Korean government has recently announced a green development policy that is designed to promote projects that simultaneously develop good environmental practice and economic development.
Eco²st’s report will be posted to a public website and be available for review by members of the Korean government.
The Eco²st research proposal was one of only 15 chosen from 900 applicants in LG’s annual research proposal competition.
The winning teams were funded for a two-week tour in the project-appropriate country of their choosing.
In addition to the Uptime Tecnologies, the research team also selected organizations such as Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of Energy ENERGY STAR, a large ISP in San Diego and the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California, and the Uptime Institute.
