Winning company will receive “Less Watts” Award to kick off Greenbuild 2013 in Philadelphia
DVL Group, a provider of data center power, cooling and infrastructure management solutions, has pledged to assist 12 data centers achieve LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Certification and save 1,000,000 watts of electrical energy. Three companies that save the most watts will receive the Less Watts Award and DVL will donate $1,000 to the Delaware Valley Green Building Council (DVGBC) in each company’s name.
DVGBC is a chapter of the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), which set the standards for LEED building. DVL will work with each company to achieve LEED Certification, administered by the Green Building Certification Institute (GBCI). LEED Certification verifies that a building was designed and built using strategies aimed at achieving high performance in key areas of human and environmental health: sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, materials selection and indoor environmental quality.
Facilities and IT personnel interested in making their data centers more efficient by participating in the Less Watts competition should attend DVL’s “Are You Prepared For What’s Next?” event at their Bristol, PA facility. The free conference takes place on May 9 and 10, offering the same seminars each day. All courses will feature IACET-authorized CEUs. The virtual Less Watts Award ceremony will kick off the annual Greenbuild International Conference and Expo.
On May 3rd, 2012, Mayor Nutter made an announcement to celebrate the annual Greenbuild Conference, which will take place in Philadelphia from November 20-22, 2013. DVGBC is the host chapter for the three-day event. The convention will feature speakers, networking opportunities, industry showcases, LEED workshops and tours of Philadelphia’s green buildings.
DVL wants to show companies that it only takes one positive, “green-friendly” action to set the tone for data center efficiency and sustainability. Its hope for the Less Watts competition is for LEED Certification to become a priority for more organizations, and for these organizations to work with DVL to achieve this goal.

Are you looking for a tool that Facilities and IT can use?
"IT has the need to manage the racks so when Facilities takes down services, they know what is effected. The tool will also help them know what resources are available - power, space, and network".

Trellis may refer to:
1. An architectural structure often used to support plants
2. A special kind of graph, often used in coding
3. A lattice
4. Quantization, a method of improving data compression, often used in video compression
5. An outodoor garden frame which can be used for partitioning a common area
6. A trestle, a bridge that consists of a number of short spans
In the Data Center world - the Trellis platform represents a groundbreaking innovation from Emerson Network Power - one that bridges the gap between IT and Facilities. Trellis helps IT and Facilities connect, communicate and control all assets within the data center. The intelligence build into the platform allows you to execute decisions in real-time and then immedidately validate and assess the impact on your critical infrastructure.

Get prepared for the top 10 Data Center surprises at DVL
Emerson released a list of 10 common surprises for data center and IT managers and offered tips on how to be prepared for them. The list, released at AFCOM Data Center World Spring, includes information on a surprising cause of data center downtime, what data center managers might not know about that next server refresh, and the growing trend sneaking up on virtually every IT manager.
“When you are a data center or IT manager, very few things are more unsettling than the unexpected,” said Peter Panfil, vice president of global power, Emerson Network Power. “We hope this list helps IT professionals better anticipate these issues and prepares them with the appropriate technologies, solutions and best practices.”

While many management organizations have already invested in technology resources (people, processes and tools) to manage data center infrastructure, critical gaps still remain in the physical infrastructure, virtual infrastructure and IT workloads. The Trellis platform provides a fundamentally new perspective on managing the entire data center in that it recognizes:
- The importance of real-time data to understand the true capacity of available infrastructure
- The criticality of interdependencies between logical and physical layers
- The need for holistic management capabilities and visibility of IT and physical infrastructures
- The need for more powerful management tools that offer a rich, visual view of the infrastructure and can guide design and change management

DCIM is getting the IT infrastructure layer and the physical infrastructure layer to operate as one. It's essentially virtualizing the physical infrastructure, just like what has happened to the IT infrastructure layer. Covering this gap is very broad, so in order for that to happen you still need to draw boudaries. What is your DCIM strategy?
The DCIM market is moving full steam ahead. Steve Hassell, president of Emerson's DCIM division, Avocent, and Kevin Brown, VP of Data Center Global Offer at Schneider Electric, put their top DCIM questions to each other in this Data Center Infrastructure Management discussion.
Check out the questions below.
What are you hearing from CIOs as to the critical needs driving them to better manage their physical infrastructure and integrate that with the logical systems infrastructure?
How does a customer get started with a DCIM implementation?
Traditional data center design practices have involved several levels of power margins resulting in stranded capacity and lower efficiency. How can DCIM help recapture some of that capacity without compromising availability?
What is your DCIM strategy?
The Data Center industry is in need of of a solution that bridges the IT and facilities systems and provides data in appropriate interfaces across IT and facilities groups. A holistic DCIM strategy is a data center manager’s best partner in meeting the stringent business demands in a modern-day data center environment. To successfully implement a DCIM strategy, data center managers must be on the lookout for the best family of hardware, software and services that allows them to address the critical infrastructure gap.
A new perspective on managing the critical infrastructure gaps is emerging that recognizes:
- The importance of real-time data to understand the true capacity of available infrastructure
- The criticality of interdependencies between logical and physical layers
- The need for holistic management capabilities and visibility of IT and facilities infrastructures
- The need for more powerful management tools that offer a rich, visual view of the infrastructure and can guide design and change management
Is DCIM the monitoring, collection and analysis of real-time, continuous, accurate information from an intelligent infrastructure that allows for immediate action, designed to keep the data center in an optimal state of balance between availability, efficiency and capacity? Is it a framework for operating the data center?
What are your thoughts?
