We just learned that Winter Street and team took home top honors for their design of eBay’s newest Utah Data Center (aka:Project Quicksilver) at the
2014 Uptime Institute Brill Awards for Efficient IT™.

The competition attracted more than 100 entries from 19 countries. Project entries were evaluated by upwards of 90 leading industry professionals for the pilot award program, which seeks to showcase companies and technologies that improve the industry’s ability to sustainably deliver IT services to the end user.

With Winter Street’s help eBay evolved its familiar modular concept and introduced a revolutionary approach to the delivery of critical power, integration of 100% on site power generation through the use of solid oxide fuel cells as the source for primary critical power.
