Specializing in the design, supply and support of customized energy & critical power management solutions, the company's world-leading innovation prevents data centers switching from drawing power from generators instead of utility-provided electricity in areas of unstable electricity supply.
Using a touchscreen interface, it allows operators to reduce their critical switchgear costs and reduces the risk of downtime – which can cost up to $5,700 per minute.
Furthermore it offers them savings of between 5 per cent and 15 per cent on their running costs, while reducing CO2 emissions.
Winning the Best in Cleanweb / IT category and being in the 2013 Global Top 10 of cleantech companies at the Global Cleantech Cluster Association (GCCA) 2013 Later Stage Award reflects Hanley Energy's success and market position in data center power and energy management in the $163.1 billion global cleantech market.
It confirms that the company ranks them among the best of the association's nearly 50 member clusters and over 10,000 member companies from around the world, as judged by 22 cleantech venture capital and private equity investors and serial entrepreneurs, who collectively manage over $3.5 billion in global clean technology investment.
"These Global Top 10 are all companies with significant achievements and strong local ties to their economic regions," said Christian Haeuselmann, Co-Founder of the GCCA and Cluster Manager for swisscleantech.
"They are not only strong technically, but their products and services demonstrate a particular investability and potential market growth mainstream investors are seeking. By highlighting them as winners, we demonstrate to the world that cleantech companies are serious and successful investments."
