JouleX Launches Version 3.0 of JouleX Energy Manager Platform

JouleX has announced version 3.0 of its JouleX Energy Manager (JEM) platform.  JouleX Energy Manager now adds a more scalable, centralized reporting and management layer to its architecture and responds to global demand from large multi-national, and multi-language distributed enterprises; dashboard enhancements and new reports; and threshold alerting and auto response, among the newest features and functions.

JEM is the first network-based, agentless energy management system that measures the energy consumption and utilization of all network-connected devices and systems to provide visibility into power usage across the enterprise and is available for the JouleX PC, distributed office, Cisco (News - Alert) EnergyWise and data center product lines.

“Energy is often the largest unmanaged expense in most organizations, and global enterprises are starting to recognize that energy management is global problem that must be addressed,” said Tom Noonan, president and CEO at JouleX. “This 3.0 release of the JouleX Energy Manager platform delivers on the requirements of our global customers who have implemented our solutions across their enterprises and want enterprise-level reporting for hundreds of thousands of devices across their highly distributed offices and data centers worldwide.”

The JEM 3.0 release highlights include architecture enhancements; the JEM platform now scales to support one million devices; new embeddable widgets, such as Heat Maps, Energy Geo Maps, Data Center Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE), Centralized Server Statistics and Health Status, and Server Resource Charts, the company stated in a press release.

Recently, it was announced that Mark Davidson, sustainability officer at JouleX, will serve on the 12-member steering committee for the new DOE Data Center Energy Practitioner (DCEP) IT-Specialist Program.
