IT Energy Consumption Is Large and Growing

Within a typical organization, IT is the second largest consumer of energy at 25% of total energy consumption. Within IT, 50% of that energy is consumed by PCs, Macs, monitors, and network connected devices such as IP phones, routers, switches, and PDUs. With energy rates likely to rise over the coming years, the operational cost will become even more significant.

$1m+ Savings Potential

Do you rely on your end users to turn off their machines each night or do you expect the Windows or Mac operating systems to reliably move machines to lower power states? That’s a lot to assume and expect. After using Verdiem Surveyor to discover their baseline energy usage, our customers uncover a reality that is far different. They find that their PCs and Macs are “on” far longer than they expected. They also start to realize that they don’t need all of their IP phones on 24x7x365. That amounts to a lot of wasted energy and money.

With some planning and more active management, you could see your IT energy consumption for these types of devices cut by up to 60%. PCs represent the biggest opportunity for savings - $20-$60 per device per year. That quickly adds up to real savings. For every 1000 PCs or Macs, your organization could be saving up to $60,000. For large organizations, the savings potential is well in excess of $1,000,000 annually.
