IBM Tivoli energy management software solutions
Achieving an energy efficient infrastructure with green IT software
Current energy management challenges hinder an organization’s ability to achieve and sustain energy efficiencies. Common challenges include lack of actionable information to manage energy consumption and cost, continued evolution of compliance requirements, and the siloed nature of Facilities and IT management. Although IT's energy consumption is large, organizations are undertaking initiatives that look to improve their ability to better manage power and cooling requirements to reduce cost, enable growth and flexibility, and manage risk across the enterprise.
Through visibility, control and automation, IBM Tivoli service management solutions and capabilities help clients address energy management challenges and achieve specific green objectives by:
- Consolidating the view of energy usage and identifying opportunities for cost reduction
- Visualizing the environmental and cost impact of the infrastructure to ensure alignment to company wide sustainability objectives
- Improving energy and cooling capacity planning
- Avoiding disruptions due to energy or cooling issues
- Lowering energy costs by dynamically adjusting capacity to needs
- Controlling energy use to qualify for incentives
IBM Tivoli software solutions are designed to optimize energy management and efficiency throughout the infrastructure.
