Results Works as advertised Valuable tool helps operations do their job better Be more energy efficient Support state data center consolidation Use Vigilent as a map to ensure new equipment can be added Can show management how were improving power consumption efficiency Extend cooling unit life due to decreased run time Lower risk due to cooling control across theentire floor4/2012 21. Results Automatic monitoring of cooling control Removed human factor No more walking around checking/adjusting temperatures Automated ability of system to respond to changesworks like a charm Moved cooling units, moved power units, add/move cabinets Streamlined the process See at a glance the conditions on the data center floor Go from being reactive to proactive Operations are first ones to know there is a hot spot and have a solution in place before there is an issue4/2012 22.

Data Center in State of Flux The B1 Data Center was both growingand shrinking Need to add capacity in the same room to get ready for more agencies Need to add and remove IT equipment without temperature change Keep IT guys happy Identify, correct and prevent hot spots Efficiently cool the odd-shaped room4/2012 28. Implementation Quick Vigilent System up and running in 5 days 140 wireless sensors 2 wireless gateways 13 CRAC units Installed ABB VFDs in five days Previous experience with Vigilentdeployment in Building 3 data center in 2009 High confidence that the system would work well 4/2012 29.

Results 78% energy savings Annual kWh savings of 697,042 or $69,705 Exceeded expectations Reduced VFD speeds in 13CRACs from 100% to 50%Source: CA Franchise Tax Board Eliminated CRAC fighting Reduced noise85,108 kWh/month usage before project reduced to 19,014 kWh/month after projectMade changes to data center so now usage is 25,882 kWh/month4/2012 32. Results Odd-shaped room nowcooled efficiently Lowered setpoints on Vigilent system which directed more cooling to the room Temperatures in data centerwent down AFTER energySource: Vigilentusage was reduced Less air movement and air mixing Humidity remained constant and managed4/2012 33. Results Major energy savings and carbon reduction Eliminated hot spots and cold spots Less wear and tear on CRACs Improved risk management due to system abilityto auto-adjust to equipment adds or removals Quick payback and ROI Works with varying data center floor plan andequipment type and age4/2012 34. Next Steps Upgrade 2009 Building 3 data center (13,000 sf)to add VFDs to all 12 CRACs Upgrade Vigilent system from start/stop CRACs to full control VFDs Add more hot aisle containment curtains Add a water side economizer Improve lighting efficiency4/2012 35.
