Romonet provides TCO and performance optimization analysis

LONDON, ENGLAND: Romonet, a leading provider of advanced data center predictive modeling tools, announced at Datacenter Dynamics' London 2013 conference that it has been appointed by Virtus to assist with its TCO and performance optimisation analysis on LONDON2; Virtus' new flagship data centre facility in West London.

The analysis, based on Romonet's proprietary data centre performance analysis and optimisation software and extensive database, will help Virtus make important technology and operational decisions.

The new Virtus facility is designed to meet the growing demand for scalable, reliable, on-demand colocation services and will be the first in London to deploy a new ground breaking fresh-air, evaporative cooling technology that dramatically decreases energy consumption, bringing site power usage effectiveness (PUE) to below 1.2, delivering substantial savings to Virtus' clients.

The Romonet analysis results help Virtus to demonstrate the performance of their facility to their customers with a high degree of accuracy and confidence.

Neil Cresswell, CEO of Virtus, commented: "We chose Romonet as our preferred partner for this project because 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."
