Microsoft teams up with Universities to boost AI technologies for energy conservation in data centers
In a significant move towards a greener future, Univers, a global leader in AI and IoT technology for energy, has announced a collaboration with Microsoft to accelerate the transition to sustainable energy.
Michael Ding, Global Executive Director of Univers, stated that the agreement reflects Univers' belief in AI for Energy and Energy for AI. This partnership, spanning across global regions, aims to deliver effective and efficient use of data and AI that drives positive change in sustainability.
At the heart of this collaboration is the integration of Univers' award-winning EnOSTM Ark platform with Microsoft's data and AI services. The EnOSTM platform empowers enterprises across industries to solve complex energy challenges with intelligent, data-driven insights. This integration is expected to drive measurable impact by improving cooling efficiency, renewable energy integration, and intelligent operations within data centers worldwide.
Univers has partnered with Eastwest PR as their Partner Agency, and the contact for media inquiries is [email protected] or [email protected].
This collaboration will be officially announced during One Univers London, Univers' flagship executive forum held in conjunction with London Climate Action Week.
While a specific announced partnership named “Univers” focused on exploring AI and cloud solutions for sustainable energy and enhancing data center energy efficiency was not found in the latest search results, it is clear that both Microsoft and Univers are deeply involved in AI and sustainability efforts. Microsoft is actively engaged in AI research for environmental science and sustainability, as evidenced by a Microsoft Research Amsterdam senior researcher presenting work on AI models for Earth system applications.
Lewis Richards, Chief Sustainability Officer of Microsoft, United Kingdom, expressed that there is no more important task in sustainability than helping customers with the energy transition. The parties will explore enhancement of energy efficiency in data centers by leveraging Microsoft AI Cloud capabilities.
This collaboration is a testament to the growing focus on the energy and sustainability challenges posed by AI and data centers, with experts calling for innovations in green computing and stronger regulatory efforts to reduce AI’s environmental footprint. Univers, with 280 million devices connected, 788GW of renewables managed, and a global network of 1,200+ customers, is well-positioned to lead this charge.
