Viridity's Intel-Enhanced EnergyCenter Software to Extend Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) Capabilities
Posted on Tue, Aug 30, 2011 @ 12:45 PM
Today, Viridity Software announced that Intel® Data Center Manager SDK will be incorporated into its EnergyCenter™ software. This integration will help provide IT and facilities managers with the ability to obtain detailed information directly from specific server assets, such as temperature. In addition, the Intel-enhanced EnergyCenter software will help enable users to add and monitor new servers immediately as they come online, even before the baseline server profile is completed.
“The relationship with Intel and the addition of its technology into our EnergyCenter software is a critical next step as it provides the ability to communicate directly with the hardware and to expand the capabilities we can offer, as servers continue to become more sophisticated,” said Michael Tresh, Director of Product Management and Marketing, Viridity Software. “Simply put, Viridity can now provide customers with the ability to monitor and manage data center assets at a much more granular level, as well as offer a head-start on supporting and managing future technology.”
“While IT and facilities management are both tasked with data center infrastructure management and optimization, as well as lowering overall costs, both tend to come at it from different angles with very little, if any, intercommunication. The Intel-enhanced EnergyCenter software offering will help bridge the gap between these two highly business-critical constituencies to better meet their common goals,” said Jeffrey Klaus, Director, Data Center Solutions, Intel. “Intel is delighted to collaborate with a leading-edge solutions provider such as Viridity Software and to continue to extend our value more deeply into the data center infrastructure management layer.”
Viridity Software will highlight its Intel-enhanced EnergyCenter software solution at the upcoming Data Center World conference taking place September 11 – 14, 2011 at the Orlando World Center Marriott in Orlando Florida (Viridity Software Booth # 923). In addition, Viridity’s Director of Product Management and Marketing, Michael Tresh, will deliver an education session at the show entitled, “How to Tap Into Utility Company Rebates” on Monday, September 12, from 9:45 a.m. – 10:45 a.m.
