Because energy management solutions run on the network, facilities might see it as an IT product. Because
facilities realizes the budgetary relief of energy management, IT might view i
t as a facilities product. However, it’s
important to remember that energy management is not department specific. From facilities management devices
(HVAC and lighting) on the facilities side and computing devices (PCs, monitors, switches, routers, servers, VoIP
phones, and printers) on the IT side, enterprise energy management spans the entire organization.
Making sure there is enough capacity to meet the demands of the IT organization for years to come is an effort that
must be undertaken by both departme
nts, as a team. Because managing energy efficiency is critical to IT’s ability
to maintain SLAs, as well as facilities’ ability to plan for and deliver sufficient power to the enterprise as a whole,
neither department can afford to pass up the opportunity to collaborate in the implementation of an enterprise
energy solution.
