The SENODS project was motivated by a major overhaul of the datacenter facilities of Portuguese corporation Portugal Telecom (PT), with the construction of a very large and state-of-the-art datacenter in Covilhã, to begin operation late 2012/early 2013.
With the goal of integrating of the technology developed within SENODS in PT’s datacenter facilities, CISTER finished the implementation of a new demonstrator of these solutions. The demonstrator was validated (last October 18) by high-level PT representatives, which responsible for the datacenter facilities of the company. This represents a major milestone of the project and means that a large scale sensing network, supervisory software and middleware developed at CISTER is on its way to be part of the new high-tech Data Centre of PT.
More details about the project:
The SENODs project (Sustainable ENergy-Optimized Datacenters) is developing integrated solutions to address both the cyber and physical challenges posed by the energy consumption, cooling, and operational needs of large-scale datacenters. The project consortium is lead in Portugal by CISTER-ISEP and in the USA by the Carnegie-Mellon University, and the other academic partner is FEUP in Portugal.
