Data Center Manager of the Year

Leonard Eckhaus Data Center Manager of the Year Award

2012 Award Recipient: Cameron Wynne

After Data Foundry acquired a four-year old data center in Austin, Texas, Wynne was challenged with economically improving efficiency in the data center’s mechanical system. This data center was built using a cookie-cutter design more suited for Northern climates. Wynne oversaw Data Foundry’s team of engineers which were able to dramatically improve the data center’s performance without a complete overhaul of the mechanical infrastructure. Most recently, Wynne played an instrumental role in the design, construction and operation of Data Foundry’s flagship 250,000 square foot data center, Texas 1. Texas 1 is the first purpose-built, carrier-neutral data center in the Central Texas region.
