SENODs on its Way to Large-Scale Deployment

One more step to the large-scale deployment of SENODs with the ongoing preparation of a new pilot deployment at PT-Picoas, where an entire data-center room will be monitored with an unprecedented sensing granularity. This pilot is planned to kickoff in next February.

In the SENODs project (Sustainable ENergy-Optimized Datacenters), CISTER/INESC TEC researchers are working towards constructing integrated solutions to address both the cyber and physical challenges posed by the energy consumption, cooling, and operational needs of large-scale datacenters. The SENODs project consortium is lead in Portugal by CISTER and in the USA by Carnegie-Mellon University, and the other academic partner is FEUP in Portugal. The project is industrially driven by major Portuguese corporation Portugal Telecom (PT), which is undergoing a major overhaul of its datacenter facilities with the construction of a new, very large, and state-of-the-art datacenter in Covilhã.
