As everything becomes more intelligent and interconnected, addressing energy and environment challenges requires innovative technology and deep business insight. We have demonstrated leadership in our own operations and can help you address these green issues with a unique combination of industry expertise and innovative research.

The EPA expects energy costs for data center environments to double every five years. With energy costs comprising 30-40% of your IT operating budget, our Technology Services are available to help you optimize efficiency.

Managing solar electric power production requires a new operational paradigm. Solar power plants are highly distributed, with each site generating far less than a non-renewable power plant. These plants are distributed over large geographic areas and are typically managed by off-site staff. Operating profit margins are narrow in the solar electric industry, and solar electric plants must operate at 98% uptime and produce more than 95% of expected output. When operating within these constraints, failures can be expensive. Small defects (string faults or panel soiling, for example) and inaccurate problem diagnosis can eat up the entire 2% downtime budget. Catastrophic failures, such damaged inverters, could mean days or weeks offline. No plant operator can afford this type of exposure.
