Distributed Power Management

“The growth of power-hungry data centres, coupled with the rising cost of electricity, is focusing attention on energy, providing businesses with a double incentive to cut carbon emissions.”

– Gartner

Energy consumption is a critical issue for IT organizations today. Computing equipment has become increasingly dense, energy costs are on the rise and many datacenters simply lack the power or space IT services require. Industry analysts estimate the annual cost of powering a server will soon exceed its acquisition cost. Underutilized desktop and server hardware is at the root of the problem. Desktops and servers run at average utilization rates of only 8-15 percent yet while idle consume nearly as much power as they do when active. Hardware capacity is typically over-provisioned because it is hard to adjust dynamically. The result is too much hardware that is highly inefficient at delivering IT services.

Consequently, many IT organizations are looking for solutions that can help them reduce their energy costs and consumption while at least maintaining service levels and responsiveness to the business.

Virtualization provides tremendous energy benefits and a lifeline to datacenters that are running low on capacity and high on power and cooling costs. Leveraging innovations
in virtualization technology, EcomNets provides increased IT flexibility, reliability and availability and frees datacenters from the shortcomings of a static, physical IT infrastructure. Now businesses can create virtualized, dynamic IT environments are cost and energy efficient and support the green movement in a significant way.

EcomNets empowers clients to drive measurable financial and environmental benefits from IT Eco-Efficiency and IT Eco-Innovation.  Our goal is to optimize energy efficiency, reduce power consumption, reduce electronic waste, and realize a return on investment.
