Read MoreHide Full Article

Carrier Global’s (CARR - Free Report) data center management software company, Nlyte, has launched its Data Center Sustainability Compliance Reporting solution.

Notably, the solution streamlines environmental compliance reporting by providing a dashboard for sustainability scores, utilizing industry metrics to deliver a proprietary Data Center Sustainability Index (DCSI) composite score.

Notably, the DCSI score is a tool that assesses a data center's sustainability performance by comparing it to industry-defined benchmarks like energy consumption, power usage effectiveness, carbon usage effectiveness and water usage effectiveness, among others.

Further, the underlined solution assists data center operators in navigating emerging reporting frameworks like the EU Energy Efficiency Directive, the Singapore Scheme, and US Title 24's climate-related disclosure rule, to name a few, enabling them to streamline reporting processes and focus on sustainability improvements.

Nlyte Software, which is a part of Automated Logic Corporation, Carrier’s building-management solutions business, has added strength to the company’s HVAC segment on the back of its latest launch.

Growth Prospects

The latest launch is in sync with the company’s growing efforts to strengthen its footing in the global data center infrastructure management market.

Grand View Research expects the global data center infrastructure management market to witness a CAGR of 15.9% during the forecast period of 2022-2030.

Notably, Carrier launched a new high outdoor air system for WeatherExpert rooftop units, which can condition up to 100% outdoor air and can be integrated with space air conditioning and heating systems for schools, hotels, office buildings and retail spaces.

Further, Carrier released its latest i-Vu Pro v8.5 software for the i-Vu building automation system, offering enhanced security, efficient controller updates, and Message Queueing Telemetry Transport integration.
