We are pleased to announce that Principled Technologies has acquired Demartek.
Demartek Becomes an EPA Recognized Independent Test Laboratory
23 December 2013
Demartek, an independent computer industry analyst firm with its own computer test lab, announces
today that it has become an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recognized test laboratory
for the United States EPA ENERGY STAR® Data Center Storage program.
“The EPA has applied the basic idea of energy efficiency to entire data center storage products
as part of their ENERGY STAR program,” said Dennis Martin, Demartek President. “Demartek has
deployed many data center storage products from a variety of manufacturers in its lab over the
past few years and is experienced in running applications on these storage systems for conducting
various validation and performance tests. The EPA ENERGY STAR Data Center Storage program defines
a very specific set of tests to be run that provide energy efficiency information for these products,
which Demartek has demonstrated its ability to run. In addition, the Demartek lab meets the ENERGY
STAR program requirements for supply voltage, voltage tolerance and maximum total harmonic distortion.”
The EPA ENERGY STAR Data Center Storage taxonomy is consistent with the taxonomy developed by the Storage Networking Industry Association (SNIA) Green Storage Initiative as defined in “SNIA Emerald™ Power Efficiency Measurement Specification.”
For more information about energy efficiency, SNIA Emerald, EPA ENERGY STAR Data Center Storage and Demartek’s experience running these tests, attend the Demartek presentation Storage Systems Can Now Get ENERGY STAR Labels And Why You Should Care given at the Data Storage Innovation Conference in April 2015.
