University of Pisa employs Vertiv high density solutions for its hybrid green data center expansion
mars 27, 2024
Background:
With international prestige, the University of Pisa is a public institution with 20 departments and high-level research centers in various sectors, including agriculture, astrophysics, computer science, engineering, medicine, and veterinary medicine.
In 2016, the University of Pisa embarked on a project to develop a new data center building called The Green Datacenter. Vertiv was chosen to supply the critical infrastructure, and the successful project implementation led to a solid technical and strategic relationship with the university.
More recently, the university turned to Vertiv to expand its data center and support high-performance computing applications.
Results:
Energy efficiency has been achieved through the implementation of strategies such as closing cold aisles and adopting hybrid cooling, a cutting-edge thermal management technology that optimizes external environmental conditions to lower energy consumption and system maintenance costs.
