SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory Models Research Data Center Using Rackwise DCiM Solutions
Rackwise, Inc. has announced that it has signed an additional renewal and expansion of its contract with the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory in Menlo Park, CA, (“SLAC”). SLAC is operated by Stanford University for the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science.
SLAC is home to a two-mile linear accelerator—the longest in the world. Originally a particle physics research center, SLAC is now a multipurpose laboratory for astrophysics, photon science, accelerator and particle physics research. The research institution has been using Rackwise DCiM solutions since 2009. SLAC is currently running the 3.5 release of the Rackwise software to model their data center. They plan to expand their use of the product to manage and model their complete power chain in the near future to better manage their capacity issues and achieve additional return on investment.
