Panduit Corporation has acquired SynapSense Corporation, a Folsom, CA-based company that specializes in thermal risk management and cooling-energy savings for large enterprise, colocation, and cloud-computing service providers. The SynapSense data center solution “consists of a unique and highly reliable secure wireless mesh networking technology, airflow optimization services, and manual or automated cooling control,” Panduit explained when announcing the acquisition. The company is now known as SynapSense, a Panduit company.
Tom Donovan, Panduit’s president and chief operating officer, commented, “The SynapSense team has a proven track record of success, helping data center managers reduce energy costs, unlock stranded capacity, and sustain savings over time.
