As the Green IT movement gains momentum, developers are stepping up with new solutions designed to help IT monitor energy use and proactively manage consumption.
Datamation reports on the latest release of NightWatchman from software and services firm 1E. Version 6 calculates the energy consumption of IT operations and includes an integrated tariff system that calculates tariffs based on geographic location and energy provider. Managers can input updated tariff and CO2 emissions information.
Software and services firm 1E said it began shipping the latest update to its automated power management software this week.
NightWatchman 6 is part of 1E’s line of software designed to help identify and eliminate IT waste. The latest version of the company’s smart electricity throttling package features a new Web-based dashboard designed to provide senior managers with an enterprise overview of power usage and savings.
