AISO.net, a Tier III data center in Richmond, CA, is saving 80 percent in energy costs thanks in part to Coolerado. Cooleardo is a manufacturer of energy-efficient air conditioners. According to the company, this energy savings translates to an annual cost savings of $24,000 for AISO.net.
The data center uses myriad green techniques such as on-site solar panels that enable the company to run at full capacity, including air conditioning, without plugging into the California power grid. Based on strategic virtualization and consolidation techniques, AISO.net’s physical footprint encompasses one-fifth of the space of comparable data center providers; a comparison of 2,000 sq ft versus 10,000 sq ft.
