Recognising that computer rooms and data centres are significant users of power, and therefore responsible for CO2 emissions, Migration Solutions developed a tool for measuring and improving the environmental impact of data centres and computer rooms. Called an Environmental Report and Assessment, (ERA), the tool is used to assess every aspect of a data centre from construction, through to air flows, through process and procedure to power and cooling. The ERA was the first industry standard tool to provide a 360 degree view of the environmental impact of computer rooms and data centres. In recognition of the value of the ERA, Migration Solutions won the Information Age Award for Data Centre Innovation. The awards are voted for online by peers, customers and readers of Information Age and are highly valued within the industry.
The environmental impact of data centres and computer rooms is significant. Whilst data centres and computer rooms are huge users of power, much can be done to reduce and minimise their impact on the environment. Migration Solutions is proud to be a member of The Green Grid a global consortium of IT companies and professionals seeking to improve energy efficiency in data centers and business computing ecosystems around the globe.
In the European Union, the Joint Research Centre consulted with key members of the Data Centre Industry during 2007 and 2008 to produce the EU Code of Conduct for Data Centres. This is a voluntary code that organisations can participate in, (for data centre owners and operators), or become endorsers of, (for consultancies such as Migration Solutions). Migration Solutions was delighted at an early stage to become an Endorser of the EU Code of Conduct for Data Centres.
Migration Solutions' Project Management skills, specific to the data centre and computer room industry, are appreciated by our clients and our peers and led the company to be voted 'Best Technical Project Management Company 2007' at the prestigious Data Centres Europe Awards. Since winning the award in 2007, Migration Solutions' Managing Director, Alex Rabbetts, has been a member of the judging panel for the awards which are awarded in recognition of excellence within the data centre industry.
