7x24 Exchange International Partners With The National Science Foundation Center
The pair will focus on energy-smart electronic systems (ES2) designed to improve the energy efficiency of data centers.
7x24 Exchange International announces its strategic partnership with The National Science Foundation (NSF) Center for Energy-Smart Electronic Systems (ES2) demonstrating the organizations ongoing commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility. The ES2, an NSF Industry/University Cooperative Research Center (I/UCRC), works in partnership with government, industry, and academia to develop systematic methodologies for efficiently operating electronic systems, including data centers, by controlling resources and managing workloads to achieve optimal energy consumption.
The goal of ES2 is to improve the energy efficiency and productivity of the country’s data centers by 2% to 35%, which translates to one to two less power plants every three years while still meeting data center growth demand. This achievement is equivalent to the complete elimination of the greenhouse gas emission from ~1.5-2.7 million cars or ~1-1.7 million homes in the US annually (U.S. EPA, 2011).
