OTAVA is dedicated to making a positive impact on the environment. We’re implementing changes at our data centers to save energy, reduce our footprint, and promote a greener future. Learn more about our efforts to create a more sustainable future.
At all of our enterprise OTAVA sites, we are working towards replacing our fluorescent lighting with LED and added motion sensors to largely reduce our energy usage.
Through electrical usage studies, faster decommissions, and upgrading power components, OTAVA will close the gap on IT load and building load for better POE.
OTAVA is auditing all of our spaces for cooling requirements and needs. We plan to adjust units, add containment, and implement variable fan speeds instead of having the fans run at 100% day and night. By lowering the runtime of cooling units, we will use far less energy.
Our team met with one of our energy providers to discuss its renewable energy program. Working with the provider, OTAVA will help reduce the carbon intensity of the grid in Michigan.
We are researching options and plan to upgrade to hardware that minimizes power consumption and our footprint. Using less power and cooling will be beneficial to our clients, infrastructure, and the environment.
