INTELLIGENT BRANDS // Green Technology

Our comprehensive solutions also allow businesses to leverage advanced power management solutions , such as uninterruptible power supply ( UPS ) systems and energy storage solutions , as well as innovative cooling and thermal management solutions that drive sustainable Digital Transformation .

We spoke to Tony Gaunt , Vice President Asia Sales , Vertiv , about the company ’ s approaches to transforming the data center ecosystem

How is Vertiv supporting data center growth in 2023 – and what is Vertiv doing new ?

Our energy-efficient technologies assist data centers to optimize their power use and lower operational expenses . From efficient cooling systems to intelligent power distribution units and advanced monitoring software – all of our solutions aim to improve overall energy

Further , our Energy Logic vendor-neutral roadmap provides a 10-step plan for reducing data center energy consumption . Based on a holistic analysis for driving IT efficiency improvement , the plan helps facility operators identify ways to reduce energy use across systems .

We have also helped reduce global water wastage , by developing water management solutions , such as Liebert DSE cooling systems , that have saved billions of gallons of water worldwide since 2013 . Meanwhile , we also help customers optimize data center designs to cut energy and water waste .

Although we are proud of these contributions to protect our planet , we know that we must actively support sustainable data center growth today and in the future with innovative , groundbreaking initiatives and solutions that directly meet industry needs .

Are Vertiv ’ s services and solutions helping businesses with efficiency and sustainability ?

From intelligent cooling controls to management software that optimize cooling systems , our aim is to reduce energy consumption and waste while maintaining optimal operating conditions .

By incorporating energy – and watersaving technologies , our solutions enable businesses to proactively monitor , control , and optimize their critical infrastructure .

We also support businesses to integrate renewable energy sources into operations . At the same time , our lifecycle services help extend the lifespan and efficiency of critical infrastructure systems .

We have reported on specific sustainability challenges facing Singapore as one of the world ’ s biggest data center markets – how do you see that situation ?

We see businesses facing hurdles to collaboration as a means of creating a sustainable ecosystem . In Singapore , three in four businesses identified this as crucial to overcoming bottlenecks , but 61 % said they lacked access to peer networks and crosssector communities – which was hampering climate collaboration .

This discrepancy between intention and outcomes is further exacerbated by knowledge of partner organizations or initiatives , budgetary limits placed on decarbonizing efforts , and the general inaccessibility to best practices and learning platforms .

These challenges require a strategic and holistic approach , involving partnerships with solution providers , employee training and engagement , financial planning , and a longterm commitment to sustainability goals .

Organizations can pivot away from these constraints by ensuring strategic implementation of their Digital Transformation roadmaps . The key is to enable technologies to be effectively replicated and integrated into new facilities or operations without sacrificing performance or incurring excessive costs . p
