Tweet-- SWAFE BPM and DCiEra have entered into an agreement to jointly address the growing energy needs of customers. Both companies will collaborate and provide services related to energy provisioning, management andimprovement of energy efficiency. Marquee service offerings of the twocompanies will be combined to present a compelling program of initiatives tocustomers in their drive towards improved energy efficiency, within a frameworkthat incorporates such standards as the USGBC, ASHRAE, The Green Grid, RoHS,BEE etc. Furthermore, the two companies will also build an ecosystem of channelpartners called the “Green Index Group” for accelerated penetration andcoverage of the marketplace.
Withrising energy costs constantly challenging business dynamics, energy efficiencyis rising to the top of the agenda in most enterprises. Reducing or controllingrising energy bills and going “Green” to demonstrate corporate responsibility towardsthe environment are the two key drivers of this trend. With increasing government regulation aimedat promoting more energy efficiency practices, enterprises are looking ateffective and efficient energy practices as a business imperative.
TheGreen Index Group is an ambitious plan of creating an eco system of channelpartners to take the two companies’ combined offerings to the marketplace and addressthe energy demands of customers in a clean, green and efficient manner. Althoughthe companies have developed the initial blue print for the Green Index Group,they are working with a select few partners to test this program on a pilotbasis.
“Energyconservation in many companies is today a CEO-level agenda. It is but commonknowledge that the amount of CAPEX/OPEX being allocated to power and energyneeds is exponentially growing each year and its impact on corporate bottomline is measurable,” notes Ravi Channavajhala, co-founder and CTO of DCiEra (P)Ltd. “Companies are looking seriously atenergy saving measures, which goes beyond shutting off of a light when not inuse. In the context of a data center or a manufacturing plant, the energysavings assume different connotations such as virtualization or more energyefficient motors, but they all are heading down the same road. DCiEra and SWAFEBPM’s partnership is a terrific synergy in servicing our clients going downthis road,” he adds.
“Wefocus on providing availability to customers’critical business infrastructure, on demand, without any room for underor over sizing. We bring about acceleration and agility when business needs arehampered by budgetary limitations and lengthy procurement cycles. Our message is simple, don’t buy a kVA or a ton of cooling ever or asft of data center space, pay per kVA of infrastructure used just likeyou pay your electricity bills on a per kVA usage basis. In doing so, the CAPEXlowered but also the energy efficiency of the electrical infrastructure isenhanced because of the right sizing,” notes Shalendra Vashisth, founder and MDof SWAFE BPM (P) Ltd. “Our On Demand Infrastructure combined with DCiEra’sservices geared towards energy management provide a one stop shop to clients fortheir energy efficiency needs.”
A co-founder of DCiEra (P) Ltd. as well, Shalendrafirmly believes that if the two organizations harness the potential of theGreen Index Group, their brands and offerings would become synonymous with greeninitiatives across the world.
DCiEraoffers a comprehensive suite of services for assisting client organizations intaking a modular, cost effective approach to going green. With expertise in energy demand andutilization patterns of all kinds of facilities – whether office buildings,commercial complexes, data centers, manufacturing facilities, healthcarefacilities – DCiEra has introduced service offerings such as DCiEra EnergyAudit, DCiEra Power Quality Audit, DCiEra Cooling Audit, and DCiEraVirtualization. Built into the services are widely accepted industry standardsand benchmarks such as Power Utilization Efficiency (PuE) and Data CenterInfrastructure Efficiency (DCiE) defined by The Green Grid for data centerefficiency.
Withcompanies frequently struggling to right size their backup and captive powerrequirements, SWAFE BPM’s On Demand Infrastructure service is aimed squarely atplugging the gap. When business expansion needs arise, most companies simply goon an asset acquisition mode to service the power needs, which means more CAPEXis diverted to physical infrastructure such as UPS, Servo Stabilizers, PDUs, DGSets etc. With a disruptive model aimedat “Power as a Managed Resource,” SWAFE BPM provisions kVA on demand whether inthe area of UPS power or DG Power. Withunmatched service level guarantees, SWAFE BPM can meet customers’ on demand kVArequirement within 24 hours, which includes installation, provision andmanagement.
