The Challenge

A Fortune 500 technology company operated 14 data centers across North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific with no standardized efficiency metrics or management practices. Each facility operated independently, with PUE ranging from 1.3 to 2.2. The lack of visibility prevented identification of best practices and optimization opportunities across the fleet.

The Solution

Helios deployed a unified fleet management platform that established consistent metrics, benchmarking, and optimization across all facilities. The system implemented cross-facility learning that automatically propagated successful optimizations from high-performing sites to others. Real-time dashboards provided executive visibility into global operations for the first time.
