Power is the lifeblood of any ICT environment, it is also one of the principle measures used to calculate carbon footprint. With the converging of technologies in the enterprise we have seen an explosion of IP endpoints that demand power distribution from more centralised / distributed sources. IT managers have to manage the greater demand for power within a structured carbon policy.
Our Power capabilities enable us to examine the existing practice (through actual measurement) and if identified necessary we can take action in facilitating redesign, replacement / upgrade, monitoring / management / recycling, as required.
We work with the client to benchmark power from a CO2 footprint perspective(physically measured at distribution level), and in doing so review power efficiency and the overall design of power systems related to ICT impacting your business.
It is not simply advice, we will activiely participate in implementing change where we all agree it is necessary.
The benefits for existing ICT teams is that you can use the activity to identify the capabilities and vunerabilities of your existing standby power systems currently deployed, from both an environmental and functional level.
Deployment of more and more end points that require line power is a fact. An average IP endpoint will draw between 3 and 11 Watts that is 24/7/365 and that all adds up.
Power installations for PoE are being implemented in distribution cabinets and closets creating additional heat and where environments are not conditioned to dissipate this heat it impacts power supply effectiveness.
