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.
