News Facts

* Entuity, a leading provider of network management solutions, today announced
the availability of its new Green IT Calculator in observance of World
Environment Day 2009, Friday, June 5th. The calculator is designed to help
individual IT organizations understand their potential annual savings associated
with implementing a green IT strategy that reduces energy consumption and
operations costs, as well as providing estimates on how much a company can
diminish their carbon footprint. 
* Entuity`s Green IT Calculator quantifies the environmental impact a green IT
strategy could have via CO2 reduction metrics and what those savings would
equate to in terms of number of cars taken off the road and acres of forest
saved. 
* From an IT infrastructure perspective the calculator estimates how much money
would be saved through four possible green IT programs: a corporate-wide
endpoint device shutdown policy; a better optimization of underutilized servers;
creation of a virtualized environment; and power reduction attained by
eliminating excess capacity. 
* World Environment Day is celebrated every June 5th as one of the prime ways by
which the United Nations promotes environmental awareness. Established by the UN
General Assembly in 1972, World Environment Day empowers people to take action
to drive and promote sustainable activities in their cities and towns. 
* Entuity has provided the industry`s first ever network management solution
focused on green IT for use with its award-winning Eye of the Storm (EYE)
network management suite. Entuity`s Green IT Perspective quantifies operational
costs and savings opportunities for network devices, servers, and workstations
in any green business initiative. A customizable dashboard and integration point
for policies, reports, reference materials, real-time statistics, communities,
wikis, and other materials keeps employees knowledgeable and green initiatives
on track. 
* Businesses utilizing EYE can maximize return on existing IT infrastructures
while realizing enhanced benefits from today`s distributed applications,
virtualized environments, network-based services, green IT initiatives, and data
sharing strategies by ensuring that the vital resource for all these initiatives
- the network - is economically deployed and optimally performing.

"The Green IT Perspective in Eye of the Storm is quite effective in several
ways. It helps us give guidance including cost metrics to the collegiate groups
that we support. The included EYE utilization reports provide insight into
direct network architectural strategies to best leverage our existing
infrastructure. Most importantly, it tracks compliance to our group shutdown
policies. With tens of thousands of connected hosts, even small improvements can
result in considerable reductions in power consumption and associated
operational costs."

IT programs. Through policy development, real-time statistics and reporting, IT
organizations can easily validate the green IT programs they put in place in
terms of both hard dollar cost savings and environmental impact reductions."
