The 7x24 Exchange Carolinas Chapter hosted its first South Carolina meeting aboard the USS Yorktown in July 2011. This exciting event, an introduction of the organization and chapter to the area, was attended by over 90 end users, consultants and vendors.

Jeff Farlow, Executive Director of the Chapter, opened the meeting with a summary of our organization, followed by the Chapter President, Tom Jacobik, Operations Manager for Apple, who discussed the mission and goals for the organization.

Chris Johnston, Critical Facilities Chief Engineer for Syska Hennessy, gave an informative and valuable presentation on Data Center Reliable Operations and Optimization.

Thank you to our sponsors Starr Electric and APC, as well as Immedion, Whiting-Turner, ECS Carolinas and Environmental Air Systems for your support.

We are anticipating an increase of South Carolina involvement in the 7x24 Exchange Carolinas Chapter. Plans are already underway for an annual Chapter meeting in S.C.
