Abstract

Over the past decade, rising energy costs and concerns about the environmental effects of increased energy consumption globally have led organizations to look into more sustainable and "green" business operations. In addition, government directives throughout the world have begun requiring corporations to lower their carbon footprint and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. These trends have an impact in all areas of industry, from corporations, manufacturing, educational institutions, and federal, state, and local governmental agencies. In response to these environmental and economic pressures, organizations have begun to deploy technology to monitor and control overall energy usage within their facilities. Organizations are looking to their IT and network operations centers to help to manage energy as part of their normal operational concerns. This session will give an overview of the various communication methods used to manage energy loads and the challenges associated with energy management. The session will take an in depth look at Cisco EnergyWise which is a new communication method specifically designed for adding energy management capabilities to networking devices.
