EFFICIENCYIT
The company’ s partnership with the Wellcome Sanger Institute demonstrates how technology integration can optimise power while expanding performance.
“ The Wellcome Sanger Institute is an incredible organisation,” Nick says.“ They are the foremost genomic research facility in Europe, possibly even the world.”
Over five years, EfficiencyIT has supported the Wellcome Sanger Institute in expanding compute capacity from around 70,000 compute cores to 250,000 while reducing electricity use by approximately 33 %.
“ We designed and had custom-built a load of Schneider power distribution systems so that we could monitor some of their specific platforms,” Nick notes.“ We use the EcoStruxure software that monitors every single element of the data centre. By delivering several different elements, we were able to improve not just their energy efficiency, but also their operational efficiency.”
The Royal Warrant and sustainability leadership This year, EfficiencyIT was granted a Royal Warrant of Appointment by King Charles III— recognition of its long-term collaboration with the Royal Household.
“ It was a tremendous moment for us to receive a Royal Warrant of Appointment by His Majesty the King,” Nick reflects.“ Having worked with the Royal Household for many years, that was a pretty incredible day.”
