USystems scoops Queens\'s Award for Innovation
Company receives accolade for ColdLogik data centre cooling range
USystems has won the 2013 Queen’s Award for Enterprise in the Innovation category for its multi-award-winning ColdLogik data centre cooling range.
The Queen’s Awards are the UK’s most prestigious prize for business performance and recognise and reward outstanding achievement. The Innovation category is for continuous innovation and development, allied to commercial success sustained over at least five years to levels that are outstanding for the size of a company’s operations.
Michael Cook, USystems’ managing director and founder, said: “We are extremely excited and proud to receive this award, which helps to elevate our profile and endorse our success.
“The Queen’s Award assessors were impressed that USystems could make a radical difference to the approach of data centre cooling with a simple idea that was well thought through and offers a complete, long-term solution to the challenges of reducing data centre energy consumption, real estate, carbon footprint and other associated costs.”
Founded in 2003 and based in Cambridgeshire, USystems is a privately-owned company with more than 50 employees in its 35,000sq ft manufacturing facility. It launched the family of ColdLogik CL20 rear coolers in 2007 as the world’s first intelligent and fully-integrated rear cooler system.
ColdLogik coolers have since been deployed in more than 100 projects worldwide.
In addition to reducing energy consumption, the coolers also remove hotspots and can be retrofitted to existing or new-build OEM cabinets using an interface.
