At-a-Glance
Cut Costs, Energy, and Carbon and Differentiate from the 
Competition
Imagine being able to monitor, measure, and manage the energy use of 
all the devices on the network. If every, laptop, monitor, IP phone, wireless 
access point, and printer in the enterprise were automatically powered up 
when they were in use and powered down when not, how much energy 
could be saved? Now imagine being able to offer energy management as 
a service to your customers to create a new revenue stream, add value to 
your existing offerings, and differentiate yourselves from your competition.
The Cisco® Energy Management Suite delivers 100 percent visibility 
into the energy use of every device connected to the network, from 
distributed offices to the data center (Figure 1). It lets you offer your 
customers a more efficient way to use their resources and help them 
cut their energy use and costs by up to 35 percent. The Cisco Energy 
Management Suite empowers customers to measure use, adjust 
power to actual demand, and implement best practices for energy 
management and carbon footprint reduction across their organization. 
And they will start seeing savings in days, not weeks or months.
