Romonet is a UK-based, privately held company, headquartered in Croydon, UK that provides cloud-based solutions and services to data centers and associated technology. Romonet solves energy, water, capacity and financial challenges in data centers. It claims it makes the first software that accurately predicts total cost of ownership (TCO) and properly model energy flow. They began by creating a term called 'data center predictive modeling' (DCPM) that "Rather than collecting real-time data, they predict data center configuration and architecture." Romonet Inc was launched in 2011 to bring the product to the US market.
Romonet was founded in 2006 by Zahl Limbuwala and Liam Newcombe—initially to make software to analyze how much data centers cost to operate. Newcombe said, of IT cost, "The business is effectively prevented from managing operating costs or understanding the contribution to profitability." In 2009 they collaborated to release an open source engine with the British Computer Society’s Data Centre Specialist Group. Though the simulator was at an early stage, it was able to predict cost and power usage.
On 24 June 2011 Romonet opened two new offices in the United States, a US HQ in San Francisco and an office in the iconic Empire State Building in New York.
