LONDON and SEATTLE, October 25, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
Integrates IT Energy Management with Building Management Systems for Smart Buildings
Verdiem [http://www.verdiem.com ], a leader in IT energy management software, today
introduced Verdiem VBOX, the first IT energy management appliance, in conjunction with the
release of Verdiem Surveyor Fall Edition 2012. VBOX is a fully integrated software and
hardware solution for an easy, quick and affordable deployment.
With the Fall Edition, Verdiem is also releasing Connect for Smart Buildings, a
solution that integrates IT energy management with building management systems (BMS).
Connect for Smart Buildings provides facilities and energy managers with visibility and
control across facility equipment (heating, ventilation, air conditioning, lighting,
security, etc.) and IT devices for comprehensive energy management to significantly reduce
energy waste.
In addition, Verdiem expands its leading energy management analytics with new
role-based dashboards that deliver key summary information on energy savings as well as
the ability to drill down to uncover more detailed insights in order to optimize energy
savings.
"Energy is an expensive and essential resource. The fact that demand is rising and
supply is constrained is driving interest in energy management technologies," said Andrew
Donoghue, eco-efficient IT analyst at 451 Research. "Verdiem is well placed to benefit
from this trend by offering solutions that provide a holistic view of enterprise IT energy
consumption. Companies can make substantial reductions in energy use and cost across both
IT and facilities by using the kind of monitoring and control software developed by
suppliers such as Verdiem."
"Verdiem has deep IT experience and our solution is proven for both large distributed
enterprises and small single location organizations," said John Scumniotales, president
and CEO of Verdiem. "Due to its easy deployment and fast time to realize savings, the new
VBOX reflects the growing demand for energy efficiency solutions in the mid-market,
particularly in the education, government, and non-profit hospital sectors, as these
organizations are under significant budget pressure and can save jobs by cutting energy
waste."
