Opengate Speakers:
Mark Germagian
President, Opengate Data Systems
Mark has been active in new technology research and new product development for the past 26 years. Prior to founding Opengate Data Systems, Mark developed innovative power and cooling products for telecom and information technology environment. He was APC’s first thermal engineer in 1992 and originated the first concepts for in-row cooling solutions. Mark later discovered advanced technology to effectively cool data center loads & worked with the Chief Engineer and Energy Director at Oracle to understand the energy efficiency benefits with the predecessor of the Opengate EC Heat Containment system. Mark founded Opengate Data Systems to bring the unique benefits of Unity CoolingTM to the broader data center market. Mark is a member and contributing author for ASHRAE TC9.9, holds multiple U.S. and international patents for power and cooling systems and has authored numerous white papers in the area of effective and efficient data center operation.
Joe Dorsey
VP Sales, Opengate Data Systems
For the past 19 years, Joe has held various sales and engineering roles in both the electronics cooling and data center cooling industry. Prior to joining Opengate, Joe spent 8 years with Flomerics Inc., a leader in application specific design software for chip, server and data center level design. Joe holds engineering degrees from the Georgia Institute of Technology and the University of California, San Diego.
Opengate Green Initiative
Many data centers are not adequately equipped to handle the additional cooling requirements for high-density equipment. This is resulting in undesirable conditions such as recirculation or mixing of hot and cool air, poorly controlled humidity and costly wasted cooling capacity. The Opengate EC Data Center allows maximum data center efficiency while effectively controlling your data center thermal environment. Opengate EC dynamically scales to the IT load, providing real-time cooling consumption detail while maintaining exact control of your cooling supply based on the actual IT cooling demand.
Today’s Data Center plans to build new or retrofit existing space requires planners and stakeholders to keep facility costs at a minimum while providing an efficient and green facility. Because customers occupying data center space will have varying requirements, the cooling solution must be highly flexible as well as scalable to help promote faster break even status. A system must allow quick deployment, automation for cooling operation and maximum efficiency as these effect cash flow for the IT operation.
Containment Cooling reduces total cost of ownership by addressing three areas that impact data center profitability; energy consumption, real estate utilization and operational overhead. Opengate technology automates cooling within the data center regardless of the density or location of the IT equipment and without the manual overhead typically required to maintain a safe thermal environment. By automating and managing the cooling, Opengate systems eliminate over-supply, increase performance of the CRAC/AHU, improve chiller plant performance and extend free cooling hours. Performance is independent of cooling supply methodology or room design.

Opengate is a trusted leader for intelligent-distributed power and cooling. We’re providing integrated systems for designers and managers that maximize rack and real estate utilization as well as improve operational efficiency for high-density computing. Take an intelligent path and gain freedom to effectively and efficiently deploy high density racks anywhere.
