EvoSwitch, with its partner, EvoSwitch OpenCloud, has been awarded the Best Energy Solution award at Datacloud Awards 2017 in Monaco. This award recognizes EvoSwitch’s achievements with regards to its in-house engineered, free cooling based data center technology with ultra-low PUE figures – as being deployed in EvoSwitch’s data center campus in Europe (Amsterdam region).
At the Datacloud Europe 2017 ceremony, EvoSwitch was one of four contenders for the Best Energy Solution award. Other companies selected by the panel of judges include Asperitas, EcoCooling and NLDC. Datacloud Europe is BroadGroup’s annual networking and deal-making event for the European cloud and data center industry.
As an owner/operator of carbon-neutral data centers in Europe (Amsterdam region) and the U.S. (Washington DC area), EvoSwitch has designed and engineered its concept in-house to address multi-tenant requirements for colocation and cloud-usage. During the award ceremony Eric Boonstra, chief executive officer EvoSwitch, and Patrick van der Wilt, commercial director EvoSwitch, were representing EvoSwitch to see if their data center design would be selected as a winning solution. Now it’s confirmed that EvoSwitch’s data center innovation may call itself an award-winning technology.
Datacloud’s Best Energy Solution award recognizes a data center facility, a team or an individual with a demonstrable track record of implementing an innovative approach. The panel of judges was looking to identify a business that has demonstrated the use of a disruptive energy innovation within the data center environment, preferably providing an example of innovation in energy management to the global data center industry.
“The Datacloud Awards celebrate some of the best companies, individuals and technologies in this increasingly challenging and competitive industry,” said Gerd J. Simon, chairman of the Judges Panel. “The Best Energy Solution award was a hotly contested category, with entries of outstanding quality reflecting the amount of change and innovation that is happening in the industry right now. We congratulate EvoSwitch on their achievement.”
Modular Data Center Design
EvoSwitch’s data center technology has a design that’s now being awarded with the first prize for Best Energy Solution at BroadGroup’s Datacloud Europe 2017 event. EvoSwitch’s innovation is an architecture that has been awarded legally registered patents. The data center infrastructure is not only optimized for energy-efficiency, but also for operational efficiency and short lead times for data center deployment.
“By winning this data center energy-efficiency award, we’re proud to show that EvoSwitch is positioned to meet the hybrid cloud and IoT-driven needs of customers worldwide,” says Eric Boonstra, CEO of EvoSwitch. “EvoSwitch being awarded the first prize for Best Energy Solution at the Datacloud Europe event, is proof that we’re on the right track with our innovation and engineering efforts at our colocation data center campuses in Europe and the U.S. In line with EvoSwitch’s growth, strategic ambitions and growing demand for our data center approach, we expect to come up with further announcements soon.”
