Data centre specialist Virtus has selected Romonet, a privately-held British firm that offers predictive modeling tools, to help it run its data centre more efficiently.
Virtus, which recently started the construction of its latest data centre in West London, will use Romonet’s predictive modeling tools to calculate an accurate prediction of the total cost of ownership (TCO).
The data centre said the software suite would help control costs and reduce risk, by improving financial forecasting of data centre equipment, IT platforms and workloads.
Neil Cresswell, CEO of Virtus, said: "They were able to provide a turnkey solution covering a comprehensive assessment of the new eco efficient design, construction of the facility and subsequent operation on completion.
"While we were confident that the design delivered the lowest TCOs for our customers, the Romonet report was able to reinforce this for us."
In April 2013, CEO and co-founder of Romonet, Zahl Limbuwala, told CBR about its predictive modelling tools for building TCO.
