EL CERRITO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Vigilent, the leader in intelligent energy management systems, advanced the state of dynamic cooling control today with the latest release of its sophisticated cooling platform for data centers, telcos and buildings. The new release Version 5 expands automatic cooling control with a new generation of artificial intelligence-based technology that contributes to risk mitigation, delivers even greater energy savings, and adds extensive, automated reporting and visualization capabilities.

Built on a foundation of self-learning, patented artificial intelligence, the Vigilent system uses Intelligent Analytics technology to enhance the resiliency of a facilitys cooling infrastructure while optimizing it for maximum energy efficiency, minute-by-minute. Fortune 500 companies worldwide are incorporating Vigilent systems as an essential component of their Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) strategy. The new releases expanded control and operational insights directly reduce cooling costs and offer extended ride-through and warning time should any unusual events occur essential to protecting uptime and availability.

The size and complexity of data centers have grown beyond the capacity of humans to effectively manage them for maximum uptime, safety, and efficiency, said Christopher Kryzan, Vice President of Marketing for Vigilent. Even the newest, most energy-efficient data centers can only operate at maximum cooling efficiency until something changes. The Vigilent system automatically and intuitively responds to changes in cooling requirements, predicts potential issues, and acts to mitigate risk giving operators much needed warning and time to respond to larger risk events.

Enhancements to the Vigilent artificial intelligence engine and resulting controls are based on the year-over-year acquired knowledge and best practices of millions of square feet of data centers already controlled by Vigilent systems. Users gain more granular monitoring and control of all cooling resources, and an improved user interface for comprehensive and instantaneous visibility into cooling and airflow status. The advantage of such precise monitoring is that the amount of cooling delivered in a given moment is the actual amount of cooling required at that moment.

By matching cooling capacity to actual IT load in real-time, you not only reduce energy costs, you gain a better understanding of how much available cooling capacity you have at any given time, said Andrew Lawrence, Vice President of Research for Datacenter Technologies and Eco-Efficient IT at 451 Research. This is a much more intelligent operation than just blasting cold air all the time; it is a dynamically changing system that produces a lot of data, which can be fed back to help improve availability as well as efficiency.
