With automated energy analytics and policy-based optimization, JouleX helps enterprises visualize, analyze and control energy consumption. Using a unique, agentless approach, JouleX continually tracks and reports energy usage for every device connected to the network, enabling you to baseline, monitor and control energy consumption across the enterprise.

JouleX enables a variety of useful energy optimization initiatives, including:  

Measuring utilization and energy usage by device.

• Network-based, device-agnostic enterprise energy management system remotely measures energy usage of all network-connected devices and systems in the distributed office, data center and facilities management infrastructure.

• Provides immediate benefits (installs in hours, not days or months) by auto-discovering devices and monitoring and measuring power.

 Sustainable procurement.

• Provides actual power consumption, energy cost and environmental impact data for use in procurement process.

• Shows operating expense impact of procuring best-in-class energy efficient IT infrastructure (energy savings can offset the capital costs of some computing devices over their useful life).

• Helps identify real power consumption savings potential based on actual energy demand, not just manufacturers’ faceplate information (which is often overstated).

Enterprise sustainability reporting.

• Reports energy consumption, utilization, costs, savings and carbon emissions by device, location, cost center, division and time of day.

• Supports regulations with carbon accounting requirements and energy usage reporting.

Identification and optimization of existing virtualization/cloud computing environments.

• Gain visibility beyond the PDU and rack to the physical server to allocate energy across virtual machines and applications.

• Pinpoint under-utilized servers and low-density servers consuming the most energy (prime candidates for virtualization).

• Identify dead and idle servers for retirement.

Capacity planning with business and energy context.

• Receive actual data on energy consumption and utilization by device, rack, make, model, etc.

• Improve Power Utilization Efficiency (PUE), Data Center Efficiency/Data Center Infrastructure Efficiency (DCE/DCIE)

• Uncover “stranded” power in data center circuits 

Load Adaptive™ Computing

• Allocate the right amount of power only to those devices that need to perform productive work; minimize the energy supplied when idle or operating at less than full capacity.

• Accurately measure system and application utilization and energy loads at the server, virtual machine and application level while dynamically allocating computing resources as they are needed.

Automated demand response programs.

• Includes technical devices as part of a utilities-sponsored demand response program.

• Helps control energy costs with policies that reduce consumption during peak pricing times and situations.

Power management for the distributed office.

• Supports devices ranging from PC/Macs, laptops, desktops, monitors, copiers, printers, VoIP phones to servers, switches, routers and storage/facilities equipment like lighting and HVAC systems.

• Automated policies can actively power down idle, unproductive office equipment saving 30-60 percent in energy costs.

• Provides opt-in/opt-out policies for end users.

• Provides ability to power on/off equipment using mobile devices such as an iPhone.

• No expensive software or device agents or hardware meters to purchase, deploy and maintain.

• No changes to network configurations or security required.
