Situation
Green Mountain operates two wholesale colocation data centres in Norway that run on 100% low cost renewable power. With major clients in finance, technology, and government, the leader in green data centers seeks to partner with technology companies that maintain similar standards for environmental stewardship. During evaluations for an automated battery monitoring system, Cellwatch came out on top.
Strategy
Green Mountain quickly recognized Cellwatch battery monitoring systems as the most robust and reliable system to ensure backup power dependability, but expectations were exceeded when Cellwatch not only met their data center performance standards, but also surpassed their sustainability requirements with the environmental attributes Cellwatch offers. Cellwatch engineers demonstrated how the system provides both unprecedented insight into battery health and preventing outages, and additionally extends battery life, significantly reducing waste and expenses. Engineers also demonstrated how Green Mountain could properly size batteries so that energy is not wasted charging batteries that aren’t needed.
Results
Green Mountain’s unique power availability now coupled with Cellwatch battery monitoring provides significant advantages to their customers in additional power protection and protection for the environment. With Cellwatch, battery life has been extended by years with far fewer total batteries required.
“Installing Cellwatch battery monitoring systems in our data centres was a win-win for us”
