THE REQUIREMENTS WERE PERFECTLY MET BY VERTIV, WHICH ALSO ENABLED US TO KEEP THE INCREASE IN ENERGY COSTS UNDER CONTROL.
Company profile:
The University of Pisa is a public institution founded in 1343. It consists of 20 departments and counts more than 50,000 students.
Project milestones:
February 2016 – Project kick-off for‘ The Green Datacenter’ September 2017 – Completion of‘ The Green Datacenter’ May 2023 – Project kick-off for‘ The Hybrid Green Data Center Expansion’ March 2024 – Integration, testing and startup of Vertiv solutions thermal management technology that optimises external environmental conditions to lower energy consumption and system maintenance costs.
These solutions have facilitated the expansion of the data centre despite constraints hindering growth within the existing building structure.
Maurizio Davini, Head of Infrastructure, University of Pisa, said:“ The main objective of our project was to incorporate new technologies to meet the evolving requirements of high-performance computing, while maintaining optimal operational flexibility.
“ The requirements were perfectly met by Vertiv, which also enabled us to keep the increase in energy costs under control and ensure efficient management of our new data centre.” �
