Sentilla First to Integrate Third-Party Devices, Consolidating Energy Information Across the Data Center

Sentilla Energy Manager for Data Centers Version 2.1 Now Integrates All Data
Center Power for a Comprehensive, Facility-Wide View of Energy Use
REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
Sentilla® Corporation, provider of demand-side energy management solutions for
data centers and commercial facilities, today introduced Sentilla Energy Manager
for Data Centers Version 2.1, which now integrates energy tracking and measuring
information from multiple vendors across the data center infrastructure,
including IT and physical facilities. In addition to providing a granular view
of energy information at the equipment level, this new release brings a
consolidated view of power use of all the equipment in the data center. IT
managers can now obtain all the energy information in the data center, whether
from Sentilla`s Power Analysis Unit or other, third-party equipment, integrated
in one standardized format for a single, combined view.

With the consolidated energy information, IT managers can set a baseline and
establish power usage effectiveness (PUE), the first step in creating an energy
reduction strategy in the data center. By integrating third-party device
support, the solution is the first of its kind to feature a fully aggregated
dashboard which IT managers can utilize to identify energy waste and reduce
facility overhead costs. Sentilla is launching the Sentilla Energy Manager
Version 2.1 directly as a result of customer and industry feedback.

According to Data Center Pulse (DCP), an exclusive group of global data center
owners, operators and users, having standardized access to power usage
information (preferably using SNMP) is one of the top ten challenges for data
center and facilities managers trying to minimize unnecessary energy use and
waste. Integration of energy information from multiple vendors` equipment is key
to creating a total facility energy profile, a critical tool in reducing carbon
emissions and costs due to energy use.

"Having a complete picture of where energy is wasted in the data center is
crucial for any business to shore up its operational costs," said Jed
Scaramella, senior research analyst at IDC. "Energy has become the central
design point for data centers; having the insight into the power dynamics and
how to reduce those costs can have a major impact on overall performance of the
business."

"The driving philosophy at Sentilla is to help IT and facilities managers make
data centers and other corporate facilities as energy-efficient as possible,
whether they are using Sentilla technology or other equipment," said Bob Davis,
chief executive officer of Sentilla. "Sentilla`s focus is helping companies
reduce their operating costs significantly by providing insight, analysis and
actions that make these environments more efficient."

Sentilla has received industry praise for the company and its technology.
Sentilla was the recipient of the 2008 Duke's Choice Award due to its innovation
using Java technology. Co-founder Dr. Joe Polastre is a winner of the 2009
Silicon Valley/San Jose Business Journal 40 Under 40 award and was named one of
BusinessWeek`s Best Young Tech Entrepreneurs for 2009. Sentilla executives and
engineering staff sit on numerous technical boards and commissions and are
regularly sought out by industry forums to speak on physical computing and its
role in energy management.

The Sentilla Energy Manager for Data Centers Version 2.1 is immediately
available.
