Energy usage has become a critical issue for IT departments. And whether the goals of you and your team are cost reduction, environmental responsibility, more efficient datacenter operations or a combination of these, you find yourself charged with eliminating server sprawl and maximizing utilization.
But energy is used by IT equipment beyond the datacenter, too – by physical infrastructure equipment like air conditioners and heaters, for example. Novar’s Opus energy management system (EMS) centralizes the control of lighting, heating, ventilating and air conditioning, and reduces energy consumption across your facilities.
EMS and IT are converging: EMS is moving to the IP network, where information from all of your facilities can interact to improve your company’s bottom line. So while facilities managers or directors in charge of energy and maintenance budgets have traditionally made the purchase decisions for EMS products and services, now you’re being called to the table. And what you’ll find is that the information provided by Novar’s EMS – and made accessible through IP and XML capabilities – is as strategically and tactically valuable to your organization as that of your POS or ERP system.
