Vigilent raises $6.7 million for datacenter energy management | ZDNet

▤ Summary

Accel Partners led the round for the company, which uses analytics to keep things under control for datacenters, telecom facilities and large buildings. "Energy management is increasingly costly and yet poorly understood," chief executive Mark Housley said. "We leverage big data analytics to intelligently and proactively optimize energy efficiency in automated, real-time response to changing conditions." Vigilents platform analyzes data from hundreds to thousands of wireless sensors deployed in a datacenter or system infrastructure. That real-time information is digested by what Vigilent refers to as an "artificial intelligence engine," which results in dynamic, automated control of cooling and air handling equipment.
