EvoSwitch Wins 'Best Energy Solution' Award at Datacloud Awards

AMSTERDAM — EvoSwitch OpenCloud has received the “Best Energy Solution” award at this year’s 2017 Datacloud Awards in Monaco.

The award, according to a representative, recognizes EvoSwitch’s achievements with regards to the company’s in-house engineered, free cooling based data center technology with ultra-low PUE figures — as being deployed in EvoSwitch’s data center campus in Europe (Amsterdam region).

EvoSwitch was one of four contenders for the ‘Best Energy Solution’ award. Other companies selected by the panel of judges included Asperitas, EcoCooling and NLDC. Datacloud Europe is BroadGroup’s annual networking and deal-making event for the European cloud and data center industry.

“The Datacloud Awards celebrate some of the best companies, individuals and technologies in this increasingly challenging and competitive industry,” said Gerd J. Simon, chairman of the judges panel. “The ‘Best Energy Solution’ award was a hotly contested category, with entries of outstanding quality reflecting the amount of change and innovation that is happening in the industry right now. We congratulate EvoSwitch on their achievement.”

Eric Boonstra, CEO of EvoSwitch, added, “By winning this data center energy-efficiency award, we’re proud to show that EvoSwitch is perfectly positioned to meet the dynamic hybrid cloud and IoT-driven needs of customers worldwide. EvoSwitch being awarded the first prize for ‘Best Energy Solution’ at the Datacloud Europe event is another proof that we’re on the right track with our innovation and engineering efforts at our colocation data center campuses in Europe and the United States. In line with EvoSwitch’s strong growth, strategic ambitions and growing demand for our innovative data center approach, we expect to come up with further major announcements very soon."
