The Cisco Solution
Cisco Energy Management monitors, measures, and manages the energy
consumption and utilization of each IT device connected to the network regardless
of device type or vendor. It helps you gain full visibility into the energy use of every
device to improve energy eciency and realize signicant savings.
How Is It Dierent?
Cisco Energy Management delivers a
comprehensive listing of all IP connected
devices in the network to measure utilization
and energy usage by device. Companies can
transition their energy management approach
from “always on” to “available when needed”
without negatively aecting business productivity
or service level agreements. Cisco Energy
Management works in multi-vendor networks
and supports more than 50 industry protocols.
The agentless on-premises or cloud application
enables IT managers to reduce energy use by
creating logical groups of assets and resources,
and then applying rules and policies that align
with the workow of each group. You can dene
policies based on time, event, and location.
Cisco Energy Management also includes a rich
reporting engine that enables you to set up
customized dashboards.
