Cisco unveils EnergyWise energy monitoring software
Cisco has unveiled an energy monitoring software that will help companies lower their energy spendings and also reduce greenhouse emissions. The software is called EnergyWise, expected to be free, and available in three versions. All three versions put together will help companies monitor and manage the energy consumption in their IP phones, computers, printers, air conditioning systems, lighting and security systems. Before you start to guess how much you will be able to save, you should know that the EnergyWise energy monitoring software will work only on Cisco’s Catalyst switches.
The energy management software from Cisco is expected to lower the energy consumption by about 15% to 20%. Since most of the companies in the world use Cisco’s network products, their software product could place them in a very good position in the market. The long term outlook of Cisco looks really good.
