I had the pleasure of attending and speaking at this year's Data Centres Europe (DCE) conference, held in June in Sophia Antipolis, France by BroadGroup. It was delayed due to the ash cloud mess back in April, when I had planned to originally attend but ended up stuck in London instead. The event was well attended despite being rescheduled, although the weather in Côte d'Azur was a bit warmer than the organizers had anticipated.
At DCE, I was honored in two ways that I want to share with you. The first is with an award! The annual Data Centres Europe awards are given out in a number of categories to recognize innovative data centre design. With a panel of judges consisting of end users and analysts, I was surprised and excited to hear them announce that I am the recipient of the European CTO Award for Innovation in Data Centres!

The 451 Group has named Sentilla a "Supplier to Watch" in their recent DCIM report by Andy Lawrence and John Stanley. We are honored for 451 to recognize Sentilla's leadership in data center analytics software, including energy management and performance optimization. The 451 Group includes Tier 1 Research, The Info Pro, and the Uptime Institute.
According to the 451 Group report, "Sentilla’s Energy Manager actually focuses on more than energy – it covers environmental data collection and reporting. It also reads IT utilization data, enabling it to model and identify opportunities to reduce waste in space, cooling and power, and to spot underutilized IT capacity. The company is well connected and innovative."
"As datacenters become bigger, denser and more complex, it is clear that the most adaptable, economically sustainable and eco-efficient facilities will be those using advanced infrastructure management software. The three main drivers of investment in DCIM software are economics – mainly through energy-related cost savings – improved availability, and improved manageability and flexibility," said Andy Lawrence, Research Director with The 451 Group.
