NTT America to Cut Energy Costs at its Two Largest North American Data Centers
NTT America, in collaboration with NTT Worldwide Telecommunications and NTT Facilities USA, has announced that it has significantly reduced the energy required to cool its two largest North American data centers: the Sterling Data Center in Sterling, VA and the San Jose Data Center in San Jose, CA.
At these data centers, NTT America will collectively reduce electricity consumption by over 7.6 million kWh and carbon emissions by over 10 million lbs. a year, saving the company a projected $630,000 annually in energy costs. This week, NTT America’s vice president of data center infrastructure, Tarif Abboushi, will speak on these and other advancements in data center cooling at the 2nd Annual Fall Forum on Financing, Investing & Real Estate Development for Data Centers, in Los Angeles.
As part of several broad energy efficiency initiatives undertaken company-wide, NTT America continually monitors advancements in energy conservation technologies. NTT America, NTT Worldwide Telecommunications, a firm that performs global data center operations for the NTT Communications Group, and NTT Facilities USA, selected Vigilent, a leader in intelligent energy management systems, as NTT America’s energy management partner after substantial due diligence and a highly successful pilot project at the NTT America San Jose Data Center.
