ISLANDIA, N.Y., Jan. 30, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- CA
Technologies (NASDAQ: CA) today announced new and enhanced
offerings in its CA ecoSoftware solution designed to further extend
the company's support for Data Center Infrastructure Management
(DCIM) and IT energy management. The improved capabilities in CA
ecoMeter 3.0 and the new CA ecoDesktop offering can help IT and
facilities staff gain greater availability, agility and efficiency
in their data center and IT operations.
"As organizations become increasingly dependent on data centers
– either on premise or in the cloud – to provide critical
applications and services, the challenges and risks associated with
uptime, power and cooling capacity have become more pronounced,"
said Terrence Clark, general
manager, CA ecoSoftware, CA Technologies. "In addressing these
challenges, our CA ecoSoftware solution reaches from the desktop to
the data center and across the enterprise. It helps customers
provide for availability, reduce costs, and more rapidly meet the
demands of the business."
CA ecoMeter 3.0: Expanded DCIM Capabilities
CA ecoMeter 3.0 has expanded its existing DCIM capabilities to
include template-driven auto-discovery of facility and IT assets to
accelerate inventory capture for rapid implementation. The product
also provides integration with CA Application Insight Modules for
accurate mapping between logical or virtual components and the
physical infrastructure on which they depend, for efficient
management of IT and cloud-based services. CA ecoMeter 3.0 also
leverages CA Executive Insight Manager to provide mobile device
users with role-based insight into availability, performance and
operational efficiency across the data center.
CA Technologies has partnered with Cisco to introduce new
bi-directional integration capabilities in CA ecoMeter 3.0. The
product has an advanced gateway that gathers a wide range of IT and
facilities system parameters that can be published to and utilized
by Cisco EnergyWise-enabled systems. Customers can also obtain
power data from Cisco EnergyWise-enabled devices for improved
energy management.
"Avnet has chosen to implement CA ecoMeter in its North American
data center environments as a part of a continuing commitment to
environmental sustainability," said Bruce
Gorshe, director, Data Center Operations, Avnet. "We
will work with CA Technologies over the next year to deploy the
solution. When completed, CA ecoMeter will help reduce energy use
by providing better consumption data and key metrics for Avnet's
data centers."
CA ecoDesktop: Desktop Power Management
Many organizations incur substantial costs to pay for the energy
consumed by desktop computers, with estimates showing that on
average one third of all desktops are left on 24 hours a day.
Enterprises and government organizations often seek to reduce the
unnecessary consumption.
CA ecoDesktop is a new solution that supports an inventory-based
approach to managing desktop power. It helps organizations identify
savings opportunities and implement profiles to increase efficiency
while addressing the requirements of end users for uninterrupted
access to their systems. CA ecoDesktop also delivers reporting to
help organizations demonstrate energy cost savings and reductions
in carbon emissions.
CA Technologies has entered into a partnership agreement with
Devoteam, a leader in ICT consulting in Europe, Middle
East and Africa (EMEA).
Under the agreement, Devoteam will offer implementation and
consulting services for CA ecoDesktop customers in EMEA.
"We use CA ecoDesktop for desktop power management and it was
successfully implemented by Devoteam. It is easy to use, meets our
requirements and has not disrupted our operations," said
John Madsen, IT manager,
Municipality of Ballerup. "We implemented CA ecoDesktop to reduce
operational costs and to reduce our impact on the environment. This
will save approximately $549,000 on
energy costs over the next three years and reduce carbon
emissions."
