Green Data Center Software
Support Green Initiatives with Green Data Center Management Software
To comprehensively and effectively address the environmental impacts of computing/IT, companies and Data Centers must adopt a holistic approach and make the entire IT lifecycle greener, by addressing environmental sustainability with green data center software along the following complementary paths:
Green use
Reducing the energy consumption of computers and other information systems as well as using them in an environmentally sound manner.
To reduce energy consumption you need to know what you have and how it is being used. AssetCentral is a green data center management software that helps with that, by calculating static power usage based on equipment specs. In conjunction with a power monitoring system, AssetCentral can provide real-time snapshots of power usage within the DC and separated by department or system (using the collections feature).
Green disposal
Refurbishing and reusing old computers and properly recycling unwanted computers and other electronic equipment.
AssetCentral helps you know what you have and how it’s being used, you can see what equipment is unused or under-utilized and so can be consolidated. Our partnership with Green Technology Recycling provides equipment disposal and proof of proper disposal.
Green design
Designing energy-efficient and environmentally sound components, computers, servers, cooling equipment, and data centers
Using AssetCentral for “what-if analysis” and calculating potential energy consumption of IT assets during the design phase ensures power will not be wasted across your Data Center.
AlphaPoint Services can provide an accurate inventory of your entire IT landscape (Data Center to Desktops). An accurate inventory is the starting point for regulatory compliance of any kind. Having an accurate inventory and green data center software is also the starting point for meaningful metrics:
- Environment-related risk mitigation
- Use of renewable energy sources
- Eco-labeling of IT products
