REDWOOD CITY, Calif. & LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sentilla® Corporation, leading provider of energy performance management software for data centres, today announced its inclusion in the Think London 100 Companies to Watch, an exclusive list of 100 international companies that add real value to the capital and future prosperity of London.
Michael Charlton, Think London chief executive, said: “While we’ve helped thousands of companies over the years, we think that these 100 organisations, including Sentilla, deserve particular recognition in our first ‘Think London 100 Companies to Watch’. In our opinion, they are revolutionising the way things are done in the city and will help shape the capital’s economy for years to come.”
The Think London 100 Companies to Watch is a celebration of the Think London clients that the organisation thinks are most likely to grow and flourish in the global economy. As London’s official foreign direct investment agency, Think London has been at the heart of international business in London for nearly two decades. Since its founding in 1994, the organisation has helped companies from more than 40 countries set up and thrive in London, giving Think London a first-hand insight into how overseas organisations can fast track expansion with a London base. This Think London 100 Companies to Watch highlights some of London’s greatest inward investment successes.
Sentilla addresses the global data center energy use problem by deferring or eliminating millions in capital, saving at least 25 percent of energy consumed, while curbing greenhouse gas emissions. Sentilla is uniquely positioned to lead this large market opportunity, and the company’s data centre solution has strong momentum in the industry. In 2010, the company introduced Sentilla Energy Manager™ Version 3.0, the industry's first-ever software-only enterprise management solution for reliably tracking power utilisation of every single asset in the data centre, including both metered and unmetered equipment. Most recently Sentilla incorporated functionality to accurately track and predict application performance and energy use in both virtual and dedicated IT environments.
In November 2010, Sentilla announced its expansion into Europe with the opening of a new London location and the hiring of a new sales team, including Vice President Mike Fisher and Technical Director Simon Parker. London is recognised as one of the world’s leading cities for corporate sustainability programmes and the expansion allows Sentilla to capitalise on the demand for its services created by the city’s favourable corporate sustainability market.
“We are excited and honored to be included in the Think London 100 Companies to Watch,” said Mike Kaul, chief executive officer of Sentilla. “With this selection, Sentilla is again regarded as the leader in data centre energy management. The continued success of Sentilla Energy Manager is validated by the massive cost, energy and carbon savings that our customers enjoy around the globe.”
Sentilla has received industry praise for the company and its technology. The Sentilla Energy Manager received a 2009 ABA Stevie Award for Best New Product of the Year – Computer Software: New Version, was named a finalist in the 2010 ABA Stevie Award New Product or Service of the Year – Computer Software – New Version, received the 2009 TechWorld Award for Green Product of the Year, and was named a finalist in the category of Best Technology Supplier of the Year in the 2009 UK IT Industry Awards. In addition, the company was named a New California 100 Innovative Business All-Star by Golden Capital Network and Hamilton Lane. Co-founder Dr. Joe Polastre was awarded the 2010 European CTO Award for Innovation in Data Centres by BroadGroup, named a winner of the 2009 Silicon Valley/San Jose Business Journal 40 Under 40 award, received one of BusinessWeek’s Best Young Tech Entrepreneurs for 2009, as well as the Top 10 Entrepreneurs in Cleantech, Biotech and High Tech for 2009 by Worth Magazine.
