Case Study: Pennsylvania-Based Health Insurance Company Optimizes Its Green Data Center with Eaton

Eaton Helps Optimize "Green" Data Center

Pennsylvania-Based Health Insurance Company turned to Eaton to help optimize its “green” data center and support reliable service for 4.6 million customers. Facing the need to keep more than 100 hospitals and 40,000 health care professionals connected while avoiding costly downtime, the company asked for an energy efficiency assessment and thermal airflow analysis to uncover inefficiencies and improve power reliability. Eaton provided its Energy and PowerChain Management Audit to evaluate the data center’s electrical and energy systems.

Eaton’s audit identified 17 potential energy-saving opportunities, with up to $138,000 in annual energy savings and an average ROI of just 1.25 years. The review also uncovered issues such as unbalanced current, low power factor, missing power monitoring, and transformer risk from voltage transients. By addressing these findings, Eaton helped Pennsylvania-Based Health Insurance Company improve flexibility, speed of response, availability, and overall operating efficiency in the data center.
