Romonet Launches World's First Predictive Modeling Tool for Efficient Data Center Design

SAN FRANCISCO, June 29, 2011/PRNewswire/ --

    Drives Down Cost and Risk for Data Center Design, Deployment &
Management

    Romonet [http://www.romonet.com ] today at the DatacenterDynamics
conference in San Francisco introduced Prognose?, the world's first and only
predictive modeling software suite. Prognose enables companies that are
designing, building, operating and managing data centers and IT facilities to
fully understand how designs or changes to facilities or IT workloads will
impact their business.

    Prognose offers data center operators and decision makers the ability to
understand and control costs, energy use and risk throughout the entire data
center lifecycle. The new suite of software tools uses sophisticated
mathematical simulation to accurately model and compare performance,
operational efficiency and costs across a wide range of 'what if' scenarios
- all without any intrusion or impact on business operations.

    "Data center operators around the world are under increasing pressure to
reduce business risk, control operational cost and maximize capital asset
utilization while at the same time facing rising energy costs and increasing
compliance regulations," says Zahl Limbuwala, CEO of Romonet. "Being able to
accurately predict energy consumption, total cost and reduce risk is crucial
to understanding and optimizing performance both today and in the future."

    Two years in development, Prognose was the brainchild of leading data
center specialists Zahl Limbuwala, chief executive officer, and Liam
Newcombe, chief technical officer - both of whom are leading industry
contributors in the international harmonization of data center metrics
within the Green Grid, European Commission, US-EPA and US-DoE working
groups. They saw the need for businesses to be able to accurately account
for cost, energy, capacity and carbon on a granular, per service level in
order to understand and optimize data center performance and efficiency.

    "Rising energy costs and capacity issues, and the emergence of cloud
services, are driving the need to better understand and manage diverse data
center cost scenarios," says Rhonda Ascierto, Senior Analyst, Energy &
Sustainability Technology at Ovum. "Part of the challenge has been to
accurately predict the cost of IT services. We see predictive modeling tools
as a significant step forward in providing insight into reducing data center
operational costs."

    Prognose has already been used by industry leading companies, including
Fujitsu, hurleypalmerflatt, Intel, Skanska, Syska Hennessy and Thomson
Reuters Market. Charles Rego, chief data center architect at Intel
commented, "Prognose could be a game-changer as the leading TCO/Predictive
modeling solution for the data center industry."
