TrendPoint was formed with one purpose in mind:
To reduce energy waste in data centers.
TrendPoint Systems, LLC provides easy-to-use solutions for remote data center monitoring. Through its web-based products, the company offers solutions for monitoring sites both large and small and, whether you have 1 site or hundreds.
It turns out that 1/3rd of all data center energy is wasted by inefficient cooling systems. As Internet demand for data grows, servers use more power and run hotter. Cooling those servers efficiency has become a huge problem because our Internet Information Technology is being cooled with early 20th century control systems. Worse yet, those past-generation cooling systems are powered by industrial-age power plants.
We all use the Internet and it’s become part of our daily lives. But, it has a hidden cost. Every time you go on-line, you’re using a server at a data center. That data center must power-up and cool its servers or they will shut down. Every hour you spend on the Internet, the servers you’re connected to and their cooling systems consume about 1 kilowatt of power. That kilowatt of power produces from 1.3 lbs of CO2 (natural gas fired plant) to 2.2 lbs of CO2 (coal fired plant). In the case of the coal plant, there’s another 1/3rd of a pound of coal ash, laden with heavy metals, that’s either spewed into the atmosphere or buried in a land fill.
We can do better. Much better. Our systems are changing the future of data center energy use. Actual results from our largest data center shows a 28% savings in cooling energy consumption in our first generation products. Our two largest data centers are now operating so efficiently that they already meet the new EPA Energy Star Data Center standards. We’re now getting ready to release our second generation of products that have shown the ability to reduce data center energy use even more.
Fortunately, the word of our product is getting out. Now industry leaders like CA (the former Computer Associates), Schneider Electric, Viridity and others are distributing our products. We hope you will join us as we change the future of how data centers use energy.
