NightWatchman® Server Edition

Features

Provides instant visibility

A comprehensive dashboard provides instant reports on power costs, efficiency, CO2 emissions and savings through server power management as well as an extensible inventory of all physical and virtual servers.

Maximizes the benefits of virtualization

Automatic analysis of useful work makes it easy to avoid virtual sprawl by highlighting unused virtual servers. Host servers are constantly monitored for signs of inefficiency, ensuring expensive hardware is always put to good use.

Reduces energy costs

Uses an automatic and non-disruptive method of server power management during periods when servers are not in use by the business. Called Drowsy Server®, it keeps servers running at all times yet saves power and reduces cooling costs.

Increases effective use of assets

See at a glance where new servers have yet to be used by the business and where aging servers are in use but are costly to run and lack server power management features.

Optimizes VMware licensing and minimizes upgrade costs

Make the best decisions to grow your virtualization platform by using the most appropriate license types. Use instant visibility of where advanced virtualization features are in use to reallocate or reclaim unused premium licenses and plan the most cost effective upgrades.

Integrates with Cisco EnergyWise

Gain instant access to current power readings and server power management information from your EnergyWise network. The combined Cisco and 1E solution applies intelligence directly to servers, does not depend on remote polling or external sensors and works with legacy hardware and new technologies.
