Numara Software Puts the Green Back Into IT’s Pocket with Power Management
Published 18th February 2010
Company Helps Organizations Reduce Carbon Footprint and Donate to a Green Cause
With New White Paper, Energy Savings Calculator and Product Demo
Tampa, Fla., February 17, 2010 – Numara® Software, Inc., a leader in service management and asset management solutions for IT professionals, today shared new resources to help IT departments implement effective power management policies to drastically reduce energy consumption and costs. For nearly two decades, Numara Software has provided customers with the most practical and flexible solutions for improving IT services. The company’s Numara Power Manager is a low-cost solution that allows organizations to create flexible power management policies and automate processes to lower costs, save time and reduce carbon emissions. Numara Power Manager facilitates the adoption of green IT by enabling organizations to get an accurate picture of their current energy usage and easily configure and deploy detailed policies—such as the ability to automatically hibernate and wake-up machines— to recapture the 40% of IT energy spend typically consumed by idle devices.
The new white paper, energy savings calculator and in-depth product test drive help IT managers quickly get their arms around all aspects of power management, including; what features to look for in a solution, tips for designing and implementing successful policies and the ability to accurately estimate potential cost savings from power management. Numara Software is so dedicated to the green IT cause, that the company has also partnered with EarthShare, a charitable organization that raises money primarily through employee workplace giving campaigns, and will donate $1 to EarthShare.org every time the company gets a “Request a Demo” of Numara Power Manager.
“Most computers are in use less than 20% of the time, so there is a huge opportunity for companies to save a significant amount of energy and money through smart, automated power management,“ said David Weiss, president and CEO of Numara Software. “Given the shifts in government energy policies, and increasing pressure from investors and shareholders, companies need to look for proven ways to adopt the green IT policies that will immediately impact their bottom line. Downloading a trial of Numara Power Manager and checking out these new resources will help companies build a compelling business case on how to cut costs and reduce their impact on the environment with power management.”
The white paper, “Green IT: Saving Money While Saving Energy,” moves beyond the hype of green IT and provides substantial support for implementing practical, yet cost-effective power management policies and tools to “green” an organization’s IT environment and boost their bottom line. The paper outlines the key drivers for adopting green IT practices, examines the key factors organizations should consider when shopping for a power management solution and provides practical tips for implementing a successful power management initiative.
IT professionals can also use the Numara Power Manager Calculator to estimate how much energy and money their organization can save by implementing effective power management policies across their desktops. This free resource is designed to provide a conservative estimate based on assumptions and energy rates derived from industry standards and analyst reports, and can be changed to meet a company’s unique profile. The calculator equips IT managers with the “value” side of the equation for implementing green IT in their organization and proves that implementing an effective power management solution can achieve remarkable cost savings and reduce green house gas emissions. In addition to annual cost savings, the calculator also estimates the annual CO2 savings (in metric tons) and acres of trees saved.
Numara Power Manager is recognized by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a commercial software package that provides computer power management functionality.
Numara Power Manager specifically helps organizations:
•Eliminate Wasted Energy Spend: Enforce and define company-wide power management policies and maintain productivity with advanced scheduling capabilities.
•Demonstrate Financial and Environmental ROI: Optimize energy consumption through constant monitoring and measurement and report on energy use, emissions reduction and cost savings.
•Maximize Productivity: Define and manage energy use without manipulating individual computers and report on power management from one central console.
Numara Power Manager can be fully integrated with the Numara Asset Management Platform (NAMP), which empowers IT organizations to increase service levels, improve performance and reduce costs by automating IT asset management.
