Coolgradient is excited to announce that we have won the Model IT category at the Yotta 2025 Innovate Arena in Las Vegas! In just its second year, the Yotta conference explores advancements in data center technology. In the words of Latitude Media founder Scott Clavenna, the event “arguably had more to say about the big questions driving the energy sector” than the RE+ renewable energy conference happening at the same time just down the road.
 
The Innovate Arena is a fast-paced battleground for digital infrastructure innovators, featuring quick-fire presentations, live judge feedback (one judge even said: “this seems like a no-brainer to me”) and interactive audience participation. Coolgradient emerged as a clear leader, showing how AI is revolutionizing data center operations and we claimed the winning spot!
 

Data Centers as Their Own Newsrooms

At the heart of our pitch was a story we like to tell: the story of Declan, a data center manager in Dublin, Ireland. Every morning, Declan starts his day by reading the “news” but his newspaper isn’t the Financial Times or the Wall Street Journal. It’s his own data center, powered by Coolgradient.
 
Every morning, Declan opens our platform. Like a good newspaper, it tells him what has happened in his facility and, more importantly, what needs to happen today.
 
Through our platform, Declan can see connections across thousands of data points — insights no human could track on their own — and get specific recommendations that reduce PUE, increase uptime, and enhance reliability. The results were transparent, verifiable, and safe, all using existing infrastructure and data, no sensors or risky changes required.
 
What makes Coolgradient unique is that Declan gets to decide what changes to implement or what recommendations to automate. We believe in the power of AI, and we believe data center operators should make the final decisions. Every day, our platform provides the data center operators with up-to-date recommendations, putting them at the helm to make the final call.
 

Real Results

Coolgradient isn’t just theory. Declan’s facility saw $4.3 million in annual savings, a 40% decrease in PUE, and dramatically reduced operational risk. Across dozens of global facilities, we’ve consistently delivered:

• Energy Efficiency: Up to 40% reduction in PUE, saving over 42,166 MWh
• Water Conservation: 28% reduction across multiple sites
• Operational Efficiency: Up to 40% increase in team productivity
• Asset Reliability: Advanced prescriptive maintenance to extend equipment life

Our platform works across legacy and new facilities, diverse climate zones, and without costly IoT rollouts, proving that intelligent, actionable AI can deliver real-world ROI while supporting sustainability and operational excellence.
