The upgrade continues the longterm partnership between the two organisations and will offer IT and C-level decision-makers greater visibility into energy usage at Europe ’ s largest genomic data centre , while reducing power consumption to provide savings , which will be used as additional funds for genomic research . The project will also benefit other key Wellcome Genome Campus partners , forming part of a wider Digital Transformation initiative that began |
in 2019 . Under the guidance of EfficiencyIT , the Institute selected Schneider Electric ’ s EcoStruxure IT data centre infrastructure management ( DCIM ) platform , using Artificial Intelligence ( AI ) and data analytics to help increase visibility across its IT estate and improve energy efficiency .
“ The research we undertake is sensitive , complex and imperative to life science progress ,” said Simon Binley , Data Centre Manager , Wellcome Sanger Institute .
