Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and FNT Software have announced the signing of an MoU to construct sustainable data centres to support decarbonization efforts. Through the MoU, MHI’s analysis and energy management solutions will be integrated into FNT’s data center infrastructure management (DCIM) software solution. That said, together, the two will also develop new solutions targeted at power consumption optimization.
FNT will also offer planning and operational support to improve existing operations in data centers, including cooling optimization and energy efficiency.
“With the rapid acceleration of digitalization, power consumption within data centers is rising at a significant pace, posing many challenges in terms of energy conservation,” said Carsten Wreth, CEO of FNT Software.
Shin Gomi, General Manager in Business Development, Growth Strategy Office of MHI commented: “MHI is keen to support the ongoing transition of Data Centers towards sustainability and energy efficiency through power generation and cooling solution. Our new Partner FNT has already supplied its DCIM solution integrating data center IT and infrastructure management, monitoring, and planning functions to more than 500 customers worldwide, contributing to the realization of sustainable data centers through operational optimization."
"The collaboration with highly valued FNT will accelerate contributing to further optimization in Data Center infrastructure," added Gomi.
