Cisco Acquires Richard Zeta Building Intelligence for its Energy Wise program
02/22/2009
For ensuring energy economy world over Cisco has come up with its new invention of EnergyWise program. To make it even more powerful and all encompassing it has acquired the Richard Zeta Building Intelligence for the program. The logic behind the move is that if the entire infrastructure could be converged on one IP-based networking standard, it will be possible to save both energy and time as well as to enhance the productivities.
The program aims at providing all the IT managers with granular and real time views regarding use and saving of energy in their organizations. In their quest Cisco has aimed at putting in place the policies that would set the devices that uses power on and off. They could also be put in idle state in conditions when someone is logging in or out of the office. Instead of keeping the devices on always, the turn is now towards round the clock availability.
Such new platforms are supposed to come in three stages. The first stage would be taking into the ambit of the program the devices that are powered over Ethernet. They include the iphones, surveillance cameras and also the wireless access points. In the second phase the engineers aim to extend the program to such network attached devices such as the personal computers, lap tops, and the printers.
In the third and the ultimate phase the platform is likely to be extended to all the building systems that are IP controlled once the used Cisco program is accepted by customers’ world over. . They could be heating or ventilating apparatus, AC machines, elevators, fire alarm, and security among others as you will find in the plan outline at CiscoDealer.com website.
