Accurate power consumption tracking is critical in selecting the best course of action, to minimize energy and materials consumption and your carbon footprint. GreenRose analyzes your measured and estimated power draw for individual IT systems, and combines these data to report overall utilization - including time-of-day consumption curves for groups of servers and entire data centers. These aggregate reports are automatically generated for any P2P, P2V and V2V analyses, showing the "before" and "after" power consumption for each potential transformation plan.

Datacenter Assessment Service

Under the Green IT Initiative program, GreenRose technology experts will provide customers with the following services:

• Assess systems and infrastructure
• Recommend Green IT solution and planning
• Implement Green Initiatives for IT assets and processes
• Operate a Green IT shop, through consolidation and virtualization of servers and peripherals
• Revamp architecture and infrastructure
• Design and deploy Green-er IT Systems - such as paperless document management, consolidated business applications, and reduplication of database and content storage
• Revise processes and metrics, positioning enterprise IT to address and adopt Green Business Practices

Power Cooling & Tracking

GreenRose gives you a complete system for planning, commissioning and on-going management of all your IT and cooling loads. GreenRose solutions offer you a complete suite of energy-related applications, in a single web-based application, with front-and back-end support services.

• Energy Management - View true kilowatt-hours by users and groups (such as departments or customers), as well as racks and rows.
• Cooling Management - GreenRose solutions offer the ability to measure energy at the CRAC level. This capability allows you to tune all your energy savings strategies to their maximum effectiveness.
• Heat Management - Hot spots create cooling inefficiencies by creating temperature inversion layers within your data cabinets. GreenRose solutions can help create an energy-efficient data center, by providing you with the tools to identify, and correct, heat inefficiencies. Your resulting efficiency improvement will be reflected in cooling bill savings of up to 66%!
• Carbon Management - Each user and group will be able to view real-time, and historical, carbon impact.

Audit & Reporting Service

GreenRose Audit and Reporting Service assists your organization monitor its quality and compliance needs by streamlining your audit program. A direct result is keeping costs down and fostering efficiency through your organization. These services are scalable and flexible with today's business models. Our system incorporates full electronic activity recording and distribution features. Compliance tools, metrics and data trending is also integrated with the system.

Virtualization & Consolidation

Over the past two decades, data centers have ballooned, unnecessarily, due to the "single-application, single-server" mentality, wherein each server hosted only one application. This was driven by the need to maintain availability and service levels of the application for the end users. However, the introduction of standards - based virtualization, has led organizations to re-think their deployment strategies and enable true server consolidation. This new approach resulted in dramatically-reduced power and cooling requirements, thus reducing the carbon footprint, and ultimately leading to "Green" data center.

Storage Consolidation

Independent studies report that storage requirements consume as much as 40% of power and cooling capacity, in the typical data center. Unchecked storage growth is a universal problem: whether you're an academic institution, a governmental agency, a large enterprise, or a small business, your IT organization is being challenged by never-ending demands for more storage capacity.

Storage Optimization

Optimize your data center infrastructure by consolidating tape operations, lowering storage acquisition costs and simplifying data protection management. Utilize a cost-efficient storage tier to achieve green IT goals including data center floor space reduction and lower power consumption.

Data Domain provides a capacity optimized storage tier designed specifically for consolidation and recovery of data center operations. Data Domain duplication storage systems automate DR processes and simplify management of global data protection assets in a small, cost-efficient footprint.

Platform Sizing

GreenRose analysis provides a vendor-neutral view of your environment. The unique characteristics that each virtualization technology offers enables organizations to determine which hypervisor is best for your organization and how much hardware and software you really require. Using GreenRose’s consideration of these varying characteristics and quartile-based utilization analysis, organizations can evaluate the benefits of designing virtualized infrastructure on any platform.
