Partner Solution
Cisco Energy Management as a Service helps customers to see, measure, and 
manage the energy use of every IP connected system on their network, regardless 
of vendor, across distributed office and data center environments. It can enable 
customers to reduce costs, energy, and carbon emissions across their distributed 
office by up to 35 percent and gain 100 percent visibility into the energy use of 
every connected network device. 
Cisco Energy Management as a Service eliminated the need for capital expenditures 
for servers and other equipment, as well as the operational costs associated with 
on-premises software deployments. This effectively removes the financial barriers 
of IT energy management that have been a difficult challenge for small and midsized 
businesses to overcome.  
Cisco Energy Management agentless technology can enable full deployment across 
an entire IT network in just hours, allowing customers to realize energy savings from 
day one. In fact, many customers achieve full return on investment (ROI) in less than 
90 days.
