ILS Technology and Acclaim Energy Advisors Join Forces to Keep the Lights on in Texas this Summer and Beyond

Boca Raton FL (PRWEB) June 05, 2012

ILS Technology today announced Acclaim Energy Advisors has chosen its deviceWISE M2M Application Platform to support their solution to potential power shortfalls in the state of Texas.

With a booming population and temperatures rising, Texas is facing a power shortage likely to surpass that of summer 2011, which resulted in rolling brownouts throughout the state. Although many public utilities have established demand response incentives, by which customers agree to drop off the grid on needs-based request, fewer than ten percent of commercial and industrial customers currently participate.

Acclaim Energy Advisors has developed an automated service to optimize the public and private sectors participation in demand response programs, taking into account their usage profile and operating characteristics. The ILS Technology deviceWISE M2M Application Platform will extract data from customer devices and equipment and provide real-time information about power consumption at multiple sites across the entire power grid. Together, the companies will enable customers to optimize their power consumption while simultaneously providing the data needed by electricity providers to balance the load and avoid brownouts, blackouts and related damage to customer equipment all with no added tax burden or increase in electricity rates for Texas residents and businesses.

Were extremely pleased to have been chosen by Acclaim Energy Advisors to provide our deviceWISE M2M Application Platform in cooperation with AT&T mobile network services for this important market solution, said Fred Yentz, CEO of ILS Technology. It is rewarding to see our solution offerings used to assist Acclaim Energy Advisors in managing the critical electrical infrastructure in Texas.

Texas is blessed to have a free-standing and independent power grid, as well as rich natural resources, according to John D. Elder, president and CEO of Acclaim Energy Advisors. Unfortunately, even these are not enough to keep up with the increased demand for electric generation. Thankfully, with the help of ILS Technology, we can monitor usage and proactively balance the load to avoid service interruption and damage to mission-critical equipment.

The Acclaim Dynamic Load Optimization 365sm solution supported by ILS Technologys deviceWISE M2M Application Platform will be demonstrated this week at TIA 2012: Inside the Network in Dallas. Visit the M2M Pavilion for more information.

OnRamps Colocation Services Guarantee 100% Uptime for Companies Threatened by Anticipated Disruptions to the Texas Power Grid

Austin, TX (PRWEB) June 27, 2012

OnRamp Access, an Austin-based data center operations company, provides colocation services to businesses in the Texas region that cannot afford the potential loss of power projected by the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) as energy use in the state continues to reach new heights. A recent study released by ERCOT, the grid operator for most of Texas, anticipates potential electricity shortages within the coming decade as a result of the insufficiencies in power output and increased demand expected for the region in the next few years. In 2011, ERCOT narrowly avoided power grid failure by rotating outages in the winter and issuing six conservation alerts when summer heat reached record highs.

The Capacity, Demands and Reserves (CDR) Report, released by ERCOT in late May 2012, predicts a decreased electric generation capacity and higher peak demand of energy usage by as early as 2014. This creates a lower target planning reserve margin than required by 2010s standards for contingencies, which includes positive economic status and high summer temperatures as catalysts for increased energy consumption. The cause for concern is the related brownouts and potential blackouts associated with a power grid under such stresses. To heighten the severity of this situation, ERCOT believes this problem will worsen in the following year and continue in a trend of increasingly negative reserve margins foreseeably until 2022. As in the case of the outages experienced last year, server downtime translates to missed revenue opportunity for businesses running e-commerce websites and major concerns for healthcare providers in need of accessing critical patient data in an emergency. OnRamps state-of-the-art data center was designed with redundancy, reliability and security in mind, enabling it to withstand extensive power outages. These considerations allow OnRamp to offer colocation customers a 100% uptime guarantee.

Without an adequate supply of power, it is hard to guarantee the reliability of systems and accessibility of data maintained through an in-house data storage operation, said OnRamps Founder Chad Kissinger. OnRamp boasts several advantages in the maintenance and delivery of power required for its clients racks, which provides assurance for its customers considering the future straining of the power grid expected from the region.

The individual components which support the data centers operation allow the company to mitigate risks of power fluctuations, such as brownouts, for its clients. All distortions to utility power are removed by sending them through one of OnRamps Uninterruptable Power Sources (UPSs) to undergo a double conversion process. This ensures that electrical output power from the UPS is completely clean, computer grade power. In addition, OnRamp uses Power Distribution Units (PDUs) to act as step down transformers and circuit breakers to provide basic shock protection to these systems.

While other data centers and many in-house data storage facilities account only for enough backup power to ensure their servers remain up and running, OnRamp maintains its complete environment with enough backup power supply to keep the entire data center functioning in the event of temporary power loss. This means, with record breaking summertime temperatures, OnRamp is prepared to keep its clients systems completely stable by meeting both power infrastructure and cooling needs.

OnRamp is fed from a high priority power substation dedicated to serving the AMD Semiconductor factory, the VA Hospital, and the new Austin Energy control center. In addition to this advantage, the company operates at an (n+1) level of redundancy, meaning it provides a minimum of one additional critical mechanical component for each of its power, A/C, internet connectivity, network connections and various other systems. This enables the company to remove a single component for service and repairs while continuously running its operation at full capacity 24/7/365.

About OnRamp

OnRamp was founded in 1994 in Austin, Texas. As one of Texas first Internet operations companies, OnRamps history is rooted in providing reliable and secure connectivity that enables distributed computing. Today, OnRamp is a data center operations company that delivers colocation, managed hosting, cloud and disaster recovery services backed by Full7Layer Support.
