One of the many things that Viridity EnergyCheck does is let data center managers quickly understand the overall energy efficiency of their existing data centers. The software provides a fast and easy way for data center managers to understand their overall energy efficiency, discover hidden opportunities for recapturing power, cooling and space capacity, and to uncover opportunities for cost savings ranging from tens-to-hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The screen shot below shows how by using Viridity EnergyCheck, one data center manager learned that out of 334 servers polled for information within a data center, 82% of them were identified as underutilized. And, by consolidating or retiring some of these underutilized servers, this manager could save as much as $268,656 on power and cooling within his data center.
There are many more examples just like this one. In fact, we developed Viridity EnergyCheck in direct response to data center managers consistently telling us about the challenges they face by not having a simple, non-intrusive way to understand power consumption and utilization that ties their IT investments back to the business. Sound like a problem facing your data center? Maybe you could use Viridity EnergyCheck too.
