News Facts

• Entuity®, a leading provider of network management solutions, today announced the availability of its new Green IT Calculator in observance of World Environment Day 2009, Friday, June 5th. The calculator is designed to help individual IT organizations understand their potential annual savings associated with implementing a green IT strategy that reduces energy consumption and operations costs, as well as providing estimates on how much a company can diminish their carbon footprint.
• Entuity’s Green IT Calculator quantifies the environmental impact a green IT strategy could have via CO2 reduction metrics and what those savings would equate to in terms of number of cars taken off the road and acres of forest saved.
• From an IT infrastructure perspective the calculator estimates how much money would be saved through four possible green IT programs: a corporate-wide endpoint device shutdown policy; a better optimization of underutilized servers; creation of a virtualized environment; and power reduction attained by eliminating excess capacity.
• World Environment Day is celebrated every June 5th as one of the prime ways by which the United Nations promotes environmental awareness. Established by the UN General Assembly in 1972, World Environment Day empowers people to take action to drive and promote sustainable activities in their cities and towns.
• Entuity has provided the industry’s first ever network management solution focused on green IT for use with its award-winning Eye of the Storm® (EYE) network management suite. Entuity’s Green IT Perspective quantifies operational costs and savings opportunities for network devices, servers, and workstations in any green business initiative. A customizable dashboard and integration point for policies, reports, reference materials, real-time statistics, communities, wikis, and other materials keeps employees knowledgeable and green initiatives on track.
• Businesses utilizing EYE can maximize return on existing IT infrastructures while realizing enhanced benefits from today’s distributed applications, virtualized environments, network-based services, green IT initiatives, and data sharing strategies by ensuring that the vital resource for all these initiatives – the network – is economically deployed and optimally performing.
