NaviSite, Inc. (NASDAQ: NAVI), a leading provider of application management and managed hosting solutions, today announced its membership in The Green Grid, a non-profit consortium dedicated to advancing energy efficiency in data centers and business computing ecosystems. With sixteen data centers around the United States and the United Kingdom, joining The Green Grid is NaviSite's latest initiative to manage the increased power consumption of its facilities. Recently, NaviSite developed a High Capacity data center environment to solve the power and cooling challenges created by higher density server deployments. Using proprietary monitoring software and systems in conjunction with cutting-edge data center equipment, NaviSite reduces energy consumption for cooling by more than 20% over conventional methods. The company has developed a sophisticated cooling system that uses temperature probes to monitor and manage server cooling by auto-adjusting the fan speed to optimal levels. As a result, NaviSite can support higher density server requirements within its existing data center infrastructure for Managed Hosting and Colocation clients – double the watts per square foot than most existing data center facilities can offer today. "Any company managing a data center today is faced with mounting concerns over energy efficiency and power consumption. Membership in The Green Grid is one way NaviSite is showcasing our commitment to increasing the efficiency of our data centers," said Denis Martin, Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer of NaviSite. "Through our partnership with the organization, we will help set new industry standards to reduce energy consumption for our company and our customers. We look forward to working with The Green Grid and hope that our innovative practices, including High Capacity Colocation and the use of Direct Current power, can benefit others." The Green Grid takes a broad-reaching approach to data center efficiency, focusing on data center "power pillars" that span the gamut of technology, infrastructure and processes present in today's data center environments. The consortium's focus includes research, standards writing, published studies and continuing education. Recently, The Green Grid unveiled its plans to complete a series of studies, including the assessment of energy efficiency metrics, the development of best practice guidelines on enhancing data center energy efficiency and a technology roadmap investigating the effectiveness of potential new energy saving technologies.
