Global DataCenter Management (GDCM), announces a fundamental commitment to protect the environment by becoming an ENERGY STAR® partner.
Del Mar, CA – March 2, 2009 – Global DataCenter Management (GDCM), a leading provider of Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) software solutions today announced a fundamental commitment to protect the environment by becoming an ENERGY STAR® partner.
GDCM, through its voluntary partnership with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s ENERGY STAR program, will work to improve energy efficiency and fight global warming by continuing to introduce new features and functions in its nlyte product, GDCM’s industry-leading DCIM solution, to help data centers reach their goals for reducing energy consumption.
“GDCM is committed to taking the necessary steps to improve energy efficiency in our organization as an ENERGY STAR partner,” said Michael Evans, CEO of GDCM. “We also recognize that focusing our product roadmap for nlyte on improving Power Utilization Effectiveness (PUE) in the data center can have a huge impact on reducing the power required to support this equipment.”
In partnership with the ENERGY STAR program, GDCM will:
· Measure and track the energy performance of our client organizations’ facilities;
· Develop and implement an energy savings plan consistent with the ENERGY STAR Energy Management Guidelines;
· Help spread the word about the importance of energy efficiency to our clients’ staff and community;
· Support the ENERGY STAR Challenge, a national call-to-action to help improve the energy efficiency of America’s commercial and industrial buildings by at least 10 percent;
· Continue to introduce new features and functions in nlyte designed to help data centers improve their energy efficiency.
"Environmental responsibility is everyone's responsibility - and today I'm pleased Global DataCenter Management is taking this motto to heart," said EPA Administrator Stephen L. Johnson. "By making smart energy choices, GDCM is helping improve our nation's energy and environmental outlook."
ENERGY STAR was introduced by the EPA in 1992 as a voluntary, market-based partnership to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through energy efficiency. Today, the ENERGY STAR label can be found on more than 50 different kinds of products, new homes and commercial and industrial buildings. Products and buildings that have earned the ENERGY STAR designation prevent greenhouse gas emissions by meeting strict energy-efficiency specifications set by the government. In 2007, Americans, with the help of ENERGY STAR, saved about $16 billion on their energy bills while reducing the greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to those of 27 million vehicles.
