SynapSense CEO Peter Van Deventer helped start the company in 2006.
SynapSense Corp. introduced advances to its data center efficiency products that increase capability and control for operators.
The new technology monitors the evaporating and cooling coils in computer room air condition systems, which saves significant amounts of energy and also helps managers with preventative maintenance.
Air conditioning is a major cost for data centers, and data center use has been growing at a double-digit pace annually through the past decade as much more information is being stored and sent through cloud computing. Not only is there much more information being sent and stored, but newer files typically are more robust. Rather than simple documents more information is now in huge packets like videos, photos and streaming media.
The new SynapSense product is ThermaNode DX, which outperforms existing technology.
?While pressure mounts to reduce operating costs, managing a critical facility has always been and always will be about operational resiliency,? said Steve Doublett, principal technologist, for data centers at GE Corp., in a news release. ?The SynapSense Data Center Optimization Platform provides the visibility and trending necessary to do both. At GE, we used the SynapSense solution to improve the distribution of cooling throughout the data center, reduce cooling costs? and comply with industry standards.
?SynapSense?s mission is to develop industry-leading data center optimization and efficiency technology on a consistent cadence, and we are changing the game in data center operations in the process,? SynapSense CEO Peter Van Deventer said in a news release.
A 2006 startup, Folsom-based SynapSense has deep local ties. The company?s initial funding for the company came from two local venture capital firms, American River Ventures and DFJ Frontier, which saw promise in technology being developed with wireless mesh sensor networks at the University of California Davis.
