NextiraOne (News - Alert) and Howden Joinery have been awarded the Data Centre Energy Efficiency Product of the Year 2013. The award was presented at the Data Centre Solutions Awards Ceremony, organized by Angel Business Communications. NextiraOne utilized its Energy Efficient Data Centre Architecture solution to decrease energy usage by 60 percent at Howden Joinery’s Northampton-based key site.


In a statement, Clive Cockburn, head of IS Infrastructure at Howden Joinery Group plc said, “We are delighted that this award has recognized the innovative and extremely effective new solution that NextiraOne has implemented for us. The combination of new energy-efficient technologies and improved management techniques has brought our power consumption down by an incredible 60%. Thanks to NextiraOne’s solution we continue to have the capacity to grow our business on our main site.”

An energy-proficient Data Centre solution was designed and deployed by NextiraOne’s dedicated Facilities Infrastructure team. The solution was used for Howden’s IT infrastructure with an aim to radically decrease the operational costs or OPEX (News - Alert) expenses. Howden was therefore able to develop and expand its business further than its existing size, eliminating the requirement to shift or pay increased running expenses. The green solution was deployed by NextiraOne without hampering Howden’s unrelenting level of service or quality. NextriaOne was able to decrease the general power usage of Howden Joinery from max out readings of 392 amps to a much more manageable level of 158 amps.

Steven Skakel, managing director for UK and Ireland at NextiraOne said, “This award underlines our strong working relationship with our customer, Howden Joinery. Our Energy Efficient Data Centre Architecture solution is a highly flexible solution that can be deployed quickly and easily without disruption to ongoing operations and can be used to boost productivity and efficiency – exactly what Howden Joinery needed. Together we have been able to create a solution that has drastically reduced the company’s energy consumption at a time that it was almost at its usage limit capacity. We are delighted that this achievement has been recognized with this award.”

The products, projects and services along with the repute organizations and teams operating in the Data Centre fields are awarded by the Data Centre Solutions Awards.
