In 2008, Intergence Systems started a program for the development of software and services to help organizations reduce their ICT based power consumption by focusing on advanced energy monitoring across global networks and virtualization.

The company leveraged the knowledge of academic and entrepreneurial communities within Cambridge to develop these software and services, which received support from funds granted by the UK government.

The company has joined the Green Grid with the objective of integrating its analytical skill with that of the consortium to drive greater data centre energy efficiency.

Peter Job, CEO of Intergence, said: “The Green Grid offers a vibrant and credible source of research and thought leadership. Companies that have ambitions to develop business opportunities in green IT, such as ourselves, need to be aware of the latest techniques and technologies to guide their own developments.

“Our software is ideally suited to help optimize both data centre and IP network infrastructure. We are now keen to make sure we align our analytical and reporting standards to those emerging from the Green Grid consortium.”
