The new partnership will be highlighted at the Datacenter Dynamics
conference in Chicago
Siemens today announced a strategic partnership with BASELAYER
Technology, LLC, the U.S-based manufacturer of software-defined modular
data centers and infrastructure management software. Siemens will
integrate its intelligent
data center technologies, including power distribution, control and
metering, and fire safety into BASELAYER’s modular data center’s
portable and customizable solution that can be located anywhere data
capacity is needed. With Siemens’ technology and BASELAYER’s modular
data center platform, operators will have greater insight into a data
center’s power flow, resulting in greater energy efficiency and
operational flexibility.

“By entering into this partnership with BASELAYER, Siemens is better
positioned to bring our intelligent data center technologies to the
modular data center space and deliver added value to consumers of
Web-scale and High Performance Computing (HPC) applications, while also
bringing innovative products into data-intensive verticals like telecom
and healthcare,” said John Kovach, Siemens Global Head of Data Center
Solutions. “Working with innovative partners such as BASELAYER allows us
to collectively deliver advanced technology in an incredibly reliable,
efficient, and cost-effective manner.”
The partnership will enhance BASELAYER’ s ability to deploy its
technology across the globe, with an immediate benefit coming to data
center deployments connected directly to the utility grid. By using
Siemens intelligent busway technology, BASELAYER is also able to reduce
the footprint within the module and allow for more space for IT
equipment. Additionally, the busway offers a high degree of flexibility
to provide localized power distribution, which allows BASELAYER’s
control systems to optimize airflow down to the component level. The
technology will help improve BASELAYER’s existing benchmark of 19
percent energy reduction and $200,000 per megawatt of operational
savings.
“Both companies share a common vision to connect the critical
infrastructure layer with the IT stack,” said William D. Slessman, CEO
of BASELAYER. “This alignment across every level of the data center will
offer data center consumers greater transparency, leading to better
decision-making capabilities. We look forward to this new chapter in our
relationship with Siemens.”
As a leading global technology company, Siemens offers power
distribution, automation, security, fire safety, renewables, and energy
efficiency solutions for critical data centers around the world.
BASELAYER’s products include software-defined modular data centers,
along with infrastructure management software and big data analytics.

technology for data centers, please visit us at Datacenter Dynamics
booth #22.
BASELAYER will be presenting on the deployment of modular data centers
at the grid at Datacenter Dynamics on October 27 at 12:20 p.m. as part
of the Critical Environment Track.
