NightWatchman® Server Edition Wins Product of the Year at the Green IT 2011 Awards

NightWatchman® Server Edition wins Product of the Year at the Green IT 2011 awards. NightWatchman Server Edition was launched to target the $24.7 billion [£15 billion] of IT spend wasted each year on the 4.7 million servers that are not doing any useful work. It allocates energy consumption to servers on a workload basis to give organizations a clearer idea of the value of every kilowatt (kW) of energy consumed and therefore, the business value they stand to get from each server.
