Why IBM for Energy Management?
Energy management has emerged as a primary focus in business - the consequence of many new pressures and challenges. Consider, for instance, the rising demand for - and cost of - energy. According to some estimates, the total global energy demand is expected to double by 2030 and organizations realize that they must be proactive in order to mitigate that impending challenge. Likewise, governmental pressures will increase in the form of new laws, regulations and standards designed to reduce greenhouse gases and protect the environment.
Within the business and IT infrastructure, energy efficiency is becoming more mission-critical than ever. IT energy expense is expected to climb 35 percent in the next five years and technology energy consumption is growing at12 times the overall demand. Unfortunately, IT and business infrastructures are often far from energy-efficient. Given these facts, it becomes clear: there is tremendous opportunity for improvement, and the organizations that seize that opportunity stand to benefit in many ways.
Energy Management Across the Enterprise
Only IBM Service Management solutions can unite business services, IT, data centers, and facilities infrastructure for energy efficiency - empowering organizations with both the information and tools they require to become substantially more energy-efficient. IBM Tivoli Monitoring for Energy Management is a unique and differentiated product in the marketplace that monitors and helps manage energy usage of IT and facility resources for efficient operations within the data center and beyond. The old adage rings true - you cannot manage what you cannot measure - and IBM Tivoli Monitoring for Energy Management provides the visibility into energy consumption across IT and non-IT devices and servers as the foundation to enable additional management capabilities such as capacity planning, energy cost allocation, and compliance reporting.
IBM is at the forefront of energy management execution, delivering leading-edge technology with new capabilities that enable energy management throughout the enterprise. Through energy management innovation, a vibrant ecosystem of business partners and a robust Tivoli product portfolio, IBM is making green management – within the data center and beyond – a reality.
