Case Study: Large Colocation and Connectivity Provider achieves 25% more billable capacity and 10–25% energy savings with Nlyte Software

Nlyte Energy Optimizer Colocation Suite helps customer reduce energy consumption, sell more space and plan for expansions

A large colocation and connectivity provider with facilities across the Northeast and Midwest — supporting hundreds of telecom, ISP and cloud customers 24/7 — faced the twin pressures of maintaining absolute reliability while planning for rapid growth and rising energy costs. The company operates 86,000 sq. ft. of white space across five locations, more than 20 MW of power and over 11,500 monitored points, so finding a way to improve efficiency and capacity without risking downtime was critical.

The provider deployed Nlyte Energy Optimizer to deliver real‑time IT and facilities data; implementation was completed with zero downtime and fast user onboarding. The platform cut adds/moves/changes from days to minutes, freed engineers for billable work, and revealed roughly 25% more sellable capacity (allowing a planned expansion to be postponed). Customers also report 10–25% power savings from features like dynamic heat mapping and load balancing, plus easier tenant portals, SLA reporting and accurate billing by zone.
