A holistic approach to energy management

Environmental regulations, rising energy costs, expanding datacenters-these are a few of the challenges driving the need for energy efficient, "green" infrastructures. Building a green infrastructure requires new focus, a holistic approach to your entire infrastructure, not just your IT equipment. We're talking facilities, building management systems, as well as other property and assets.

Effective energy management enables the maintaining of business service levels in spite of potential interruptions to the energy infrastructure and starts with gaining visibility into the energy usage data that will be required to drive optimization, virtualization and consolidation across the entire IT environment. IBM offers a practical, step by step approach to managing and optimizing energy beyond the data center, to include building infrastructure and other network connected property and assets.

At IBM we build energy efficiency into our products, from IBM System x® servers to the IBM System z® mainframe. That includes our new Intel servers that deliver twice the performance of the previous generation in the same energy envelope, as well as our new energy efficient IBM Power™ systems and IBM BladeCenter® servers. And IBM can help you with everything from data center strategy and assessments to data center design, build, consolidation and relocation.
