"Viridity's unique approach to data center energy monitoring and management will help our customers track and control their power utilization more accurately than ever before; and in doing so will enable them to save money, enhance service levels, and dramatically extend the life of their data center and its assets," said Jim Lampert, President and CEO, Global Green Consulting Group.  "Moreover, because this function will be transformed from a point-in-time event to an ongoing and continual capability, our customers will be able to rededicate their time to strategic initiatives directly tied to their businesses' bottom line."

"Global Green Consulting Group understands, as we do, that in today's data center the widespread deployment of virtualization combined with exponential growth in the cost of power demands a new level of intelligence that goes far beyond current products that simply collect data and report," said Mike Rowan, Founder and CTO of Viridity Software.  "We offer customers an order of magnitude increase in sophistication in how they can cross-functionally gather data, model and visualize their environment, as well as analyze the information collected, in order to create truly actionable strategies to run more efficient, highly optimized, eco-friendly data centers."

"Today's most successful organizations recognize that environmental and social corporate responsibility is vital to their company's long term success.  In fact, research demonstrates that in addition to meeting legally mandated governmental regulations, the adherence to such programs is associated with employee workplace satisfaction and customer loyalty, as well as reduced capital and operational expenses," said Andy Lawrence, Research Director, Eco-Efficient IT, The 451 Group.  "As this space continues to evolve, I believe we will see sustainability and environmental responsibility programs playing a much greater role across business generally, and especially at the more successful and forward looking companies. Clearly, technology provides an opportunity for managers to develop these programs in a way that produces a good return on investment and a high level of control."
