Wipro is one of the leading global Information Technology, Consulting, and Outsourcing businesses. It has recently announced that its first flagship data center at King’s Mountain, North Carolina has been awarded the LEED certification. LEED certification is a Gold certificate ranking that is given by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). LEED is USGBC’s leading ranking system for data center designs that are eco-friendly, and energy efficient. “We are excited to announce that our data center has achieved LEED Gold certification. From conceptual design to construction, our team has learned much about cutting-edge green building technology and takes a tremendous amount of pride in building our eco-friendly facility. There are less than 50 Data Centers in the world today which are LEED Gold certified, and we are thrilled to be a part of this exclusive group,” said Pinaki Kar, CEO, Wipro Data Center Services. “Wipro's LEED certification demonstrates tremendous green building leadership,” said Rick Fedrizzi, President, CEO & Founding Chair, U.S. Green Building Council. “The urgency of USGBC’s mission has challenged the industry to move faster and reach further than ever before and Wipro serves as a prime example with just how much we can accomplish.”

Wipro’s King Mountain Data Center has achieved this certification because of the energy efficient cooling systems, materials, and lighting that has been used during construction. The data center has also achieved sustainable savings during the operations

as well. LEED also verifies environmental impacts, financial returns, workers health, and the end-user benefits. Data Center Talk updates its resources everyday. Visit us to know of the latest technology and standards from the data center world. Please leave your views and comments on DCT Forum
