The National Science Foundation (NSF) Center for Energy-Smart Electronic Systems (ES2) has announced a new strategic partnership with 7x24 Exchange International, the leading knowledge exchange for those who design, build, operate and maintain mission-critical enterprise information infrastructures.  ES2, an NSF Industry/University Cooperative Research Center (I/UCRC), works in partnership with government, industry and academia to develop systematic methodologies for efficiently operating electronic systems, including data centers, by controlling resources and managing workloads to achieve optimal energy consumption. Demonstrating the group鈥檚 commitment to corporate social responsibility, the 7x24 Exchange will work closely with ES2 to research new areas of energy-efficiency to collectively provide significant value to our industry and to the country as a whole.

A partnership between 棉花糖直播 University, Binghamton University, The University of Texas at Arlington and the Georgia Institute of Technology, the goal of ES2 is to improve the energy efficiency and productivity of the country鈥檚 data centers by 20-35%, which translates to one to two less power plants every three years while still meeting data center growth demand. This achievement is equivalent to the complete elimination of the greenhouse gas emission from ~1.5-2.7 million cars or ~1-1.7 million homes in the US annually (U.S. EPA, 2011).

ES2 棉花糖直播 site director, Dr. Alfonso Ortega, also the University鈥檚 Associate Vice President for Research and Graduate Programs, explains how this collaborative effort with 7x24 Exchange will impact the industry: 鈥淐omputer scientists, and mechanical and electrical engineers from both academia and industry, link the fields of information technology, dynamic systems control, electronic systems and electronic cooling for a holistic approach to the development and design of energy-efficient electronic systems.鈥� He recognized Dave Crocker, chief executive and chairman of Steel ORCA, a digital utility center (DUC), as being instrumental in bringing 7x24 Exchange and ES2 together. 鈥淒ave seems to know everyone in the data center industry, and has shown his unwavering support for the work we鈥檙e doing by bringing all the players to the table,鈥� says Dr. Ortega. Steel ORCA, a 7x24 Exchange member, recently broke ground in Princeton, N.J. for the nation鈥檚鈥� first full service DUC / data center, designed to serve the New York and Philadelphia markets.

7x24 Exchange chairman and CEO Robert J. Cassiliano will represent the organization on the ES2 Industrial Advisory Board (IAB) and has created a technical committee of well-respected industry professionals. Chaired by 7x24 Exchange President David Schirmacher, the committee will assist in providing technical guidance. Cassiliano states, "7x24 Exchange will provide ES2 students and professors with access to 鈥榬eal world鈥� education, industry experts and potential employers at 7x24 Exchange conferences. We can also provide ES2 with a platform from which to present information, as well as the opportunity to recruit new corporate members by utilizing our conferences, magazines and website."

Dr. Ortega and ES2 Center Director, Dr. Baghat Sammakia, Vice President of Research at Binghamton University, will deliver a keynote presentation at the upcoming 7x24 Exchange national meeting in Boca Raton, Fla. in June. With the theme 鈥淭he Data Revolution鈥擡nd-to-End Reliability: Mission Critical Facilities,鈥� Drs. Ortega and Sammakia will present 鈥淭he National Science Foundation Center for Energy Smart Electronic Systems (ES2) and 7x24 Exchange: A Partnership for Energy Sustainable Data Centers.鈥�
