Introducing PWRwise

An intelligence layer for data centre and cloud energy

PWRwise brings power, cooling, compute and carbon data from every site and every vendor into one trusted platform. Its intelligence layer then tells engineers and planners what is wasting energy, what it costs, what will run out next, and what to do about it.

The gap we close

Data centres have plenty of data and very little intelligence

Every facility already produces millions of readings a day. The trouble is what happens to them.

It's scattered

Power sits in PDUs and meters, cooling in the BMS, compute in DCIM and hypervisors, and cloud usage in a separate console. Nobody sees the whole picture.

It isn't trusted

Uncalibrated sensors, gaps and impossible values quietly flow into dashboards and reports, so teams stop believing the numbers.

It doesn't lead to action

Alerts arrive without a cause, a cost or an owner. Problems like overcooling or idle servers run for months before anyone notices.

Inside the intelligence layer

Six engines working for your engineers and planners

Each engine answers a question your team is asking today. Every result is checked against confidence thresholds before it is published: if PWRwise isn't sure, it doesn't say.

Anomaly detection

Learns the expected behaviour of every cooling unit, PDU and rack for its current workload, and flags drift within hours.

Which equipment is wasting energy right now?

Forecasting

Projects power, cooling and space demand weeks ahead. Competing models are scored, and only the most reliable one is shown.

When will this hall run out of capacity?

Carbon engine

Converts metered energy into location- and market-based emissions using real grid carbon intensity, per site and per workload.

Are we on track for our carbon target?

Energy leakage tracing

Follows every watt from grid input to IT output, and pinpoints distribution losses, idle servers and overcapacity.

Where does our power go that isn't doing useful work?

Optimisation

Recommends cooling set points, workload placement, consolidation and cloud rightsizing, each with a pound and carbon value attached.

What is the single most valuable thing to fix next?

Guardian gate

A quality gate that sits in front of every prediction. It checks data quality and model confidence, and blocks anything it can't stand behind.

Can I trust this number in a board report?
Who it's for

Built for the people who run the operation

One platform, one version of the truth, with a view shaped around each team's objective.

Fits your estate

Works with what you already have

PWRwise sits above your existing systems. It doesn't replace your BMS or DCIM, and it doesn't lock you into one hardware vendor.

  • Vendor-neutral: connects to equipment from any manufacturer through standard protocols
  • Read-only by default, so your control systems stay in your hands
  • Covers on-premise, colocation and public cloud in one view
  • Starts small: a single hall or suite, then scales across the portfolio
