This will result in reduced energy costs and carbon footprints.

Sentilla has launched its new Sentilla Energy Manager for Data Centers in the last week of January 2009 to provide detailed analysis of the power profile of a data center, enabling managers and IT staff to better measure and manage power consumption, increase energy efficiency and lower operating costs to improve business performance.

The Green Grid seeks to provide industry-wide recommendations on best practices, metrics and technologies that will improve overall data center and business computing energy efficiencies. By joining The Green Grid, Sentilla is helping to influence both developers and end users of data center technology.

“Sentilla’s technical leadership has resulted in an innovative energy monitoring and management platform that provided a missing piece in the data center equation,” said Joe Polastre, founder and chief technology officer of Sentilla. “By contributing to the efforts of industry organizations such as The Green Grid, we can contribute to further development of crucial technologies and practices that will have a lasting impact not only on data center business performance, but also in reducing carbon emissions to better the planet.”
