Cisco Cisco Energy Management for Data Centers 정보 가이드
Strategic intelligence along with quick wins
First, the Cisco Energy Management suite has given the University of St.
Gallen improved intelligence for the development of its future-oriented energy
management strategy. Now, it can see into the hidden depths of its campus
infrastructure. It knows how much power each device consumes (see Figure
2) and can use the network to enforce policies, such as shutting down idle
PCs. While it’s too soon to go into precise figures, the institution is on track to
achieve sizeable reductions in emissions and operational expenditure.

• Established long-term strategy for
energy management
• Replaced siloed energy monitoring with consolidated
usage management as a facility
• Proactive monitoring of energy usage to keep costs in
line with budgets
• Reduced power costs and emissions
• Productivity savings

“It’s like a fog has lifted,” says Städler. “We have full visibility and can track
every device and how it impacts power usage at different times of the day.
And we can do that across all 30 of our buildings.”

The campus network is also designed for greener IT. Cisco Catalyst
switches can power access points and other connected devices, enabling
greater energy efficiency with Ethernet support and features such as
hibernation mode.

Over the next two years, the aim is to set binding policies to automatically
regulate energy consumption for still greater sustainability.
