Green IT The role of accurate network inventory & monitoring

How Green Is Your IT?

‘Green’ is no longer a marketing slogan, or vague aspiration – it impacts on the bottom line. But how to identify energy cost savings today and prepare for the environmental taxes of the future.

Do You Have All The Information You Need?

• How many servers, PCs, laptops and other devices are running at 3am on a Saturday night?
• What is the electricity cost of running the network?
• What machines, or devices are redundant and should be withdrawn from use?
• What devices are capable of delivering energy savings?
