If & Then, Inc. a leading provider of business eco-intelligence systems and services has announced the release of its EIS/ADR (eco-intelligence system/automatic demand response) platform for datacenters and critical facilities.
With energy scarcity and cost continuing to rise at unprecedented rates, the impact on datacenter operating costs and reliability is becoming critical and important. If & Then's EIS/ADR provides a ready solution to help datacenters better manage and anticipate their energy-related costs, reliability and environmental considerations. "By running a datacenter like a Prius in reducing overall loads by just few percent for few hours, datacenters can avoid buying market power at peak prices, an overall 20% energy cost savings in some cases "says CEO Krimo Salem.
EIS/ADR is a set of intelligence software and hardware controlled actions taken to reduce or shift electricity utilization at datacenters and critical computing facilities when utility grid load congestions threaten supply-demand balance and/or peak market conditions occur that significantly raise electricity costs. Anticipating and shifting overall loads during times of high power demand to intermittent supply such as co-generator, renewable energy generation equipment will avoid paying for electricity at market peak prices while lowering the risk of power outages, reduce the datacenter's carbon footprint, and enhance overall operational reliability.
