Business Wire
CA Technologies (NASDAQ:CA) today announced that the major
Spanish banking Group BBVA has implemented CA ecoMeter in its
Uptime Institute Tier IV certified data center to help improve data
center capacity, maintain uptime and availability, and reduce costs
through better energy management. CA ecoMeter is a key component of
the CA DCIM solution.
BBVA’s 20,000 square meter data center in Madrid, which includes
a computer room that is 1,525 square meters, hosts a large part of
the technology infrastructure that supports BBVA’s European
operations and manages 52 million daily transactions through 2,000
high range servers.
Growing demand on technology and infrastructure hosted in the
BBVA’s data center increases energy, cooling and space capacity
requirements. By providing data on energy consumption, CA ecoMeter
allows BBVA to take necessary measures to provide for availability
and uptime and increase infrastructure efficiency.
“We designed our data center so that it could support large
growth. We needed a solution that could provide an integrated
view—in real time—of data related to the use of energy and other
environmental variables. We also needed to have alarms that could
alert us to anomalous levels of power demand so that we could avoid
failures in the infrastructure,” said Carlos Redondo, manager for
CPD Infrastructures for Europe at BBVA. “With accurate information
on power, temperature and other variables, we can make better use
of our infrastructure and more easily plan capacity, make changes
that do not put operations at risk, and increase our energy and
carbon efficiency.”
BBVA selected the CA DCIM technology after conducting pilot
tests to evaluate capacity and performance through dashboards on
energy consumption, thermal maps and alarms, calculations of power
usage effectiveness (PUE), historical reports and trend analysis.
The solution was implemented in six weeks.
Additionally, the CA Technologies software exchanges data with
the imVision intelligent cabling software used by BBVA, and was
uploaded with the equipment inventory, so that the organization can
collect information on servers as well as the fiber and network
devices that connect them. This consolidated view of the
infrastructure helps BBVA increase efficiency and improve change
management.
