“One solution to Monitor, Analyze and Manage Energy Usage”

Monitor, Analyze and Manage Energy Consumption for All Network-Connected Devices

Sustainability and Green IT have become watchwords for executive management, corporate IT and facilities departments. Major solution providers and vendors have attached a “green” story or messaging around how their solutions will fit into a “green strategy”. As corporate management and government agencies explore the benefits of having a green strategy, they soon realize that the benefits go far beyond good public relations. An effective green strategy can significantly reduce energy consumption and thus have an immediate positive impact on the bottom line.

Introducing JouleX Energy Manager | (JEM)

The JouleX Energy ManagerTM (JEM) reduces energy costs by monitoring, analyzing and managing energy usage of all network connected devices and systems, without the use of costly and unwieldy software agents. Unlike other approaches, JEM does it all in one solution.

Monitor

JEM provides continuous energy usage visibility via agentless moni-toring of all devices and systems in the enterprise network, data center and facilities.

Analyze

JEM pinpoints energy reduction opportunities by analyzing energy usage and carbon emissions by any grouping such as date, time, location, device and application.

Manage

JEM reduces energy costs through planning and simulation, optimiza-tion, policy enforcement and event-driven rules, without impacting availability and user productivity.

JEM’s unique approach to energy management has set a new standard for the industry. This means companies now have a way to radically reduce energy consumption without changing or impacting your business.

intelligence in less than one day!

Simulate energy savings and analyze enterprise energy data through a comprehensive energy dashboard • Result: Quickly identify and

prioritize top energy savings opportunities

Establish policies and control energy use across your enterprise including your distributed office, pc environment, data center and facilities.• Result: Save energy and costs

while reducing carbon emissions

Leverage interactive energy intelligence reporting and decision support • Result: Measure progress

against your governance and sustainability objectives!

JouleX Energy Manager (JEM) Overview

JEM enables energy savings by intelligently monitoring, analyzing and managing the power state of network connected devices. A very basic example would be to turn off all unused desktop computers and printers after office hours when they are not in use. Another example would be using JEM passively to measure the energy consumption of devices and map them to their corresponding cost centers or organizational units. JEM’s robust policy engine provides granular rules to determine how and when to change power states. Besides desktops and laptops running Windows, Linux or Mac OS, JEM has built-in support to manage a variety of devices and systems, such as printers, VoIP phones, routers, switches, WLAN access points, Power over Ethernet (PoE) devices and many more. Custom devices can be integrated on demand by using the JEM Software Development Kit (SDK).

Main Dashboard

JEM provides a global view of energy consumption on its main dashboard.

Energy Savings

JEM provides both the visibility and the means to drastically reduce energy consumption.

Four Functions of JouleX Energy Manager (JEM)

Discovery and Measurement

JEM provides energy intelligence and visibility of all network-connected devices and systems by remotely measuring energy consumption, costs, and carbon emissions.

Analyze and Simulate

JEM provides the ability to analyze energy data (consumption, costs, carbon, savings, etc.) by date, time, location, cost center, business unit, device or system and simulate energy saving scenarios to identify top energy-saving priorities.

Supported Management Tools

JEM supports a full range of management tools:

• Directory Services- Microsoft Active Directory- Microsoft SCCM

• Network and Systems Management- Cisco CiscoWorks- Enterasys NetSight- Cisco EnergyWise

• Security Management- Enterasys NAC

• Server Management- Intel Data Center Manager

Policy and Control

JEM provides the ability to create policies to automatically control energy consumption using JEM’s time-based, location-based and robust event-based policies. JEM’s execution proxies utilize the existing network and systems management infrastructure to automatically control device and system energy usage.

Reporting and Decision Support

JEM provides the ability to view energy intelligence with JEM’s interactive, drill-down reporting capabilities. View energy usage, cost, carbon and potential or real-time savings information over time, by location, cost center or business unit, by device, system or group. Pinpoint top energy hogs and energy efficient systems or compare usage and savings over time for a specific device or location.

Energy Following the Productive User

At JouleX, we understand that a company’s employees are a key component to helping to reduce energy usage. As a result, we have created an employee portal that provides:

1. An easy way to opt in and opt out of JouleX Energy Manager (JEM) services

2. An invitation and description of the JouleX Mobile™ App3. A dashboard showing how much energy the company is saving

using JEM

Summary

The JouleX Energy Manager (JEM) is the first and only network-based, agentless energy management system developed specifically for enterprise environments. JEM significantly reduces energy usage and immediately impacts bottom line.

JEM leverages a unique agent-free discovery method to automatically find all devices on the corporate network, report and manage their energy usage. Once the devices are discovered, JEM continually tracks and reports on energy usage. With this information, IT managers can now develop policies and rules that are fed back into JEM’s energy management capabilities to actively reduce energy consumption on a massive scale. The result is a dramatic cost reduction from energy usage which increases the corporate bottom line. The typical enterprise can see savings of between 30%-60% in the first year alone. Additionally, JEM provides robust reporting which can be used in a variety of countries that are now requiring carbon usage monitoring.
