Cisco Helps Enterprises Lower Energy Usage With New Software And Services Offerings Cisco EnergyWise Suite Gives More Visibility to Increase Energy Efficiency and Reduce Energy Costs of Connected-Devices
SAN JOSE, Calif., Nov. 20, 2013 Cisco (NASDAQ: CSCO) today announced new solutions and services in the Cisco EnergyWise Suite that help enterprises become more energy efficient, reducing costs and carbon emissions. The expanded portfolio is based on the integration of recently acquired JouleX software with Ciscos existing services offerings and EnergyWise technology.
Cisco EnergyWise Suite helps to reduce energy costs by monitoring, measuring, and managing the energy usage of all network-connected devices and systems regardless of vendor or device type, including switches and routers, servers, access points, IP phones, laptops, monitors, and even ATM machines, using automated energy analytics and policy-based optimization. IT energy use represents the last and largest unmanaged business expense, accounting for 25 to 80 percent of enterprise energy consumption, according to Gartner Dataquests Forecast of IT Hardware Consumption. Therefore, the potential gains in deploying a solution to manage this cost are substantial. As more devices are connected in the Internet of Everything, its becoming even more important for organizations to find a solution to manage and lower these costs.

Cisco EnergyWise Fast-Start trial software:
Cisco offers a free, trial license of the EnergyWise Management software that provides basic energy and ROI reports; monitors energy of any device, data center and distributed office connected to a Cisco intelligent network.
Additionally, the EnergyWise Fast Start trial software provides a snapshot of IT devices of energy usage and potential savings areas.
Cisco EnergyWise Discovery Service
This new service helps identify energy waste and create benchmarks to reduce energy and carbon footprint based on reports generated from the EnergyWise Management software.
As part of the 90-day service engagement, Cisco will conduct an energy audit with detailed requirements and information collection, product installation and energy baselining, biweekly energy discovery reporting, and a detailed executive summary upon conclusion.
Cisco EnergyWise Optimization Service
The service is focused on delivering energy optimization for IT infrastructure, including 100 percent visibility into data center energy use for all physical and virtual devices and reduction of IT energy costs by 35 percent throughout distributed offices. This service is also available as part of the Cisco Network Optimization Service.
Organizations can respond to an energy event quickly and increase efficiency by identifying equipment to virtualize, retire or better manage from this added visibility in the data center or automate policies to power down IT devices when not in use in the distributed office.

The software subscription includes: EnergyWise Management for Data Center; software support and Cisco TAC 24 hour by 7 days a week support.
