It is a kind of David-Goljat feeling, winning the likes of eBay and HP at the Uptime Institute contest. It all boils down to rigorous measurements, without which we would not have started the project in the first place. Check an IT publication near you or our news page for details. Now bit of celebration […]
::: events ::: Jukka Paananen, Vice President, Sales at BaseN will highlight the importance of real-time electricity consumption measurements at a seminar (“Äly leviää sähkö verkkoon? – Uutta liiketoimintaa ja energiatehokkuutta”) in Helsinki on April 10th, 2013. The core of his presentation will be the Adjutantti case, an unique apartment building with sophisticated BaseN-powered individual […]
A couple weeks ago I was invited to the Finnish parliament’s finance committee to present BaseN’s views, together with three major energy companies. The subject was a new law related to energy efficiency services provided by the utilities. What really struck me was that my CEO colleagues in the briefing only tried to slow down […]
Reuters published an extensive article about the new Academica data center under the Uspenski cathedral. I have to say I’m somewhat surprised on buzz about this project, as it was initially started by myself and the BaseN Chief Engineer Kaj J. Niemi searching for a new, sustainable location for the BaseN Platform in the Helsinki […]
Today we got a bit empirical with my friend Juha Sipilä from Helsinki Energy. Armed with a thermal imaging device, we went paparazzi to the surroundings of some known data centers in the Helsinki metropolitan area. The tour included some parkour too, as some of the cooling towers were landscaped nicely. Although we knew that lots […]
Today I was lecturing at the Aalto University about Monitoring the Internet.. of Things. It was a heartwarming experience as the audience of some 200 students and industry people was clearly interested and also generated a lively discussion during the second half of the lecture. What was intriguing though was that although I tried to […]
Our favorite IT provider Academica is now constructing one of the world’s most energy efficient data centers. But not only that, it is also the first one with a full heat recovery system. The realization of this projects happens in close cooperation with the local energy utility, Helsinki Energy. In other words, warmth from the […]
I’ve spent quite some time reading different books about management and leadership, to the point that I sometimes feel that the arsenal of guidelines and rules they assert mostly cancel each other out, leaving me puzzled and with tired eyes. Although over the years I’ve become a fan of for example Patrick Lencioni and Albert J. […]
On Friday we added electricity measurements to the Finnish Association of Nature Conservation, a prominent organization that has been on the right track about the Climate Change for decades. It is interesting to see that a three floor office with district heating can use up to 14 kilowatts of electricity in peaks. This would easily power two […]
Computing power in personal computers, phones and PDAs has increased logarithmically during the last 20 years. Today’s mobile phones easily have 800MHz processors and several gigabytes of memory, which make them far more powerful than the supercomputers of the late 80s. Thanks to nanotechnology and other advances in silicon processing, the trend seems to be continuing. […]
