Imagine being able to monitor, measure, and manage the energy use of
all the devices on the network. If every, laptop, monitor, IP phone, wireless
access point, and printer in the enterprise were automatically powered up
when they were in use and powered down when not, how much energy
could be saved? Now imagine being able to offer energy management as
a service to your customers to create a new revenue stream, add value to
your existing offerings, and differentiate yourselves from your competition.

into the energy use of every device connected to the network, from
