SERVER POWER MANAGEMENT - featured solution

Save Money $ Save Energy through Useful Work Analysis (ROI in less than 1 year)

Empowering the IT decision maker

NightWatchman Server Edition provides continual analysis for physical and virtualized environments and enables the IT decision maker to answer the question, “Are these servers being used for useful and productive work?” This information is the key to making data centers and servers more efficient, reducing redundant infrastructure and avoiding future spend on new hardware.

  • Useful Work™ Analysis allows you to identify when your servers are being productive and when they are wasting energy

  • Drowsy Server® continuously monitors activity and dynamically minimizes energy consumption when there is no Useful Work being performed without impacting the server availability

For the first time, IT managers can confidently make decisions about improving the efficiency of their servers. They can set policies and rules about when and how these devices are used, or even removed all together.

Instant visibility and reporting

Beyond power management

NightWatchman Server Edition goes way beyond IT energy consumption and power management; this solution will change the way organizations provision, manage and pay for server environments.

Supporting on-board instrumentation where available, or using a sophisticated power modeling algorithm, NightWatchman Server Edition gives you easy access to report on energy consumption, cost, efficiency and CO2 emissions. Available for all servers (physical, virtual, Windows(R) or Unix) and with many views (by hardware, location, department and more) some of the in-built reports include:

  • Dashboard view

  • Decommissioning analysis

  • Virtual Utilization analysis

  • Useful Work

  • Busiest servers

  • Waste and savings

The Next Big Thing...You are Getting Drowsy

Get ready for the next big thing in green IT: "drowsy" computing. Power management company 1e today unveiled a new software tool that will let company servers work smarter -- and lazier.

1e's new Nightwatchman Server Edition takes the principles of its PC power management software and expands it to measure and manage server efficiency, which the company's CEO says can make a significant dent in what is currently more than $4 billion in wasted energy use every year.

"This is probably one of the largest causes of inefficiency within the data center space today," Sumir Karayi, 1e's CEO, explained. "In terms of the IT industry, it has so many pockets of waste today, that our target is massive."

NightWatchman Server Edition brings an innovative tool to bear in power management: the company has developed a method to measure "useful" computing -- the type done by employees or clients in the course of daily work -- from "housekeeping" computing, which is necessary but can be highly inefficient.

The idea behind "drowsy" computing is to allow NightWatchman to tell when servers are running housekeeping programs, whether antivirus software or indexing checks, and force the server software -- and in capable models the hardware -- into the lowest energy-using state possible, while still running. "It's still working," Karayi said, "it's just working slower, like it's drowsy."
