Thanks…

Also – have you heard of the new EnergyWise Fast-Start $0 SKU’s? You can now get limited functionality energy management software from Verdiem and JouleX and no charge with new Catalyst 4500E and 3700/3500 series switches

Send me an email on gubedi@cisco.com if you want more information

Welcome, I’ll explore the business cases in Cisco EnergyWise portal, seems like we can plan (if not already doing this) globally. Being standard on Cisco switching equipment for long time, should be doable in the medium term, and should be companies radar for analysis.

Hey Rodrigo,

Thanks for the kind comments and appreciating the value of Cisco EnergyWise. Reporting tools are very important for geting good ROI. In this case-study the management application used was from Verdiem – Sureveyer v6.

The idea with Cisco EnergyWise is that we provide the protocol by default and for free in the Cisco networking equipment (Catalyst switches and ISR routers) so that the energy management can be done in a scalable, secure manner using the power of the Cisco Network.. There are over 100 partners who are using Cisco EnergyWise to offer a clean solution to such customers. More details on http://www.cisco.com/go/energywise.

Please reach out if you want more help here!

Best,
Guneet

This is super cool, and important technology, we wish too see deployed more times. I was wondering how critical reporting tools are to justify new hardware and software purchase, at 40% is a very good number to me.

Also, very interesting the integration with third party tools to achieve savings and control, not only in Cisco PoE devices, but lots of other network devices and lighting systems, HVACs. Hope to see more cases like that.
