Energy Efficiency & Power Management Solutions

Nebulas Virtualise’s Energy Efficiency and Power Management solutions monitor utilisation across the data centre and intelligently power off unnecessary physical servers without impacting applications or users. By utilising Energy Efficiency and Power Management solutions, organisations can reduce energy consumption in their data centres by up to 80-90% without sacrificing business software efficiency, reliability or service levels.

Green IT, energy efficiency, and power management are critical issues for organisations today, whether the goal is to lower costs, reduce carbon footprint, or keep data centres running. In the U.S. alone, data centres consumed $4.5 billion worth of electricity in 2006. Industry analysts such as IDC estimate that the annual cost of powering a server will soon exceed the purchase cost of the hardware itself. Unfortunately, supply is not keeping up with demand. Gartner Research forecasts that by 2008, 50% of current data centres will have insufficient power and cooling capacity to meet the demands of high-density equipment. The environmental impact of data centres is also a growing concern as organisations endeavour to switch to green IT and reduce the carbon footprint of their business.

Virtualisation has a positive effect on the environment and Nebulas’ Energy Efficiency and Power Management solutions are fundamental to any organisation looking to support the green IT initiative and dramatically reduce its carbon footprint.
