Sentilla Blog

I'm pleased to see more attention being given to energy reduction, and specifically to energy reduction in data center equipment. An increasing number of announcements, news items and blogs are giving equal time to energy reduction – the lesser known sibling to alternative clean energy sources.
As Joe Polastre noted in this blog, the foundation of energy independence consists of two fundamental efforts – alternative, clean energy sources alongside the reduction of energy. Driving hard on both efforts is key to making progress on our goals here. With much national, and international attention paid to clean energy, it was gratifying to see some recent announcements regarding energy reduction.

Sentilla is now a member of a data center energy efficiency consortium, known as The Green Grid. With data centers consuming over 1.5% of the United States' electricity according to the EPA, lots of people are interested in how to reduce demand in the data center. To better understand the task at hand, companies have joined forces to make data centers more efficient.
