Making improvements but failing to MONITOR actual positive effects diminishes the value of any environmental efficiency programme. Logicalis has brought together a number of vendors to create innovation in the monitoring discipline. Working in conjunction with partners such as Verdiem and VSR2 Logicalis has created the industry's first real-time IT Environmental Dashboard, collecting and displaying real-time savings from desktop power management systems. However, if there is an accurate net saving in terms of energy, CO2, floor space within a data centre, or operational costs, then creating processes or systems for monitoring these enables clearer reporting of environmental success.
