SAN FRANCISCO, May 20– Digital Realty Trust, Inc. the world’s largest wholesale datacenter provider, received the Green Enterprise IT Visionary Award at the fifth annual Uptime Institute Symposium in New York City on May 17, 2010. The Visionary Award recognizes an institution or firm that demonstrates a commitment to finding effective ways to reduce energy consumption and promote sustainability through innovation and best practices. Digital Realty Trust was presented with the award by Jones Lang LaSalle, the corporate sponsor of the 2010 Green Enterprise IT (GEIT) Awards presented by the Uptime Institute. The Visionary Award is sponsored and judged independently by Jones Lang LaSalle.
Digital Realty Trust received the award for its commitment to sustainability and innovation in the construction of a LEED certified data center utilizing full airside economization for more than 65 percent of each year. The LEED Platinum-certified datacenter project in Santa Clara, California is expected to save 3.5 million kilowatt hours of energy annually saving more than $250,000 per year at today’s energy prices.
“The construction of the green datacenter in Santa Clara demonstrates Digital Realty Trust’s strong commitment to energy efficiency and sustainability,” said Thomas Freeman, Managing Director and head of the Data Center practice at Jones Lang LaSalle. “Their adoption of industry best practices ensures a reduction in energy use, cost and associated greenhouse gas emissions.”
“This is a great honor, and we thank both Jones Lang LaSalle and The Uptime Institute for this award. We have made energy efficiency a cornerstone of our approach to designing, building and operating datacenter facilities. We greatly appreciate receiving the Green Enterprise IT Visionary Award in recognition of our efforts,” said Jim Smith, CTO of Digital Realty Trust. “Given the rising cost of electricity and the amount of power used by today’s datacenters, the energy efficiency of datacenters has a direct impact on companies’ bottom line. We believe that environmental practices and financial responsibility are in complete alignment with each other when it comes to datacenters. The Uptime Institute Symposium has put a bright spotlight on energy efficiency and has been a catalyst for industry-wide adoption of energy efficient best practices. We are proud to receive this prestigious award and be a part of this event.”
