JouleX Forms Data Center Technology Partnership with Triton Federal Solutions

ATLANTA, Aug. 8, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- JouleX, the leading innovator in enterprise energy management systems for data centers, distributed office environments, and facilities, today announced that it entered into an agreement with Triton Federal Solutions, a Project Performance Corporation (PPC) company, to implement and integrate the JouleX Energy Manager (JEM) technology for commercial and federal customers that want to reduce their energy savings three fold. Together, the companies are helping customers, such as the Department of Energy, reduce their economic, environmental and social impacts.

Triton expertly implements JouleX to automatically monitor and control the dynamic energy consumption of all devices across an enterprise and to populate energy and utilization information into a customer's decision-support systems. Triton helps customers interpret the information to make decisions and to take specific actions that make agencies and their data centers more sustainable. Customers can utilize this information for sustainable procurement practices that factor energy consumption into purchasing decisions; to see how and where energy is consumed and wasted; to identify and prioritize energy- and cost-savings opportunities; and to enact measures to reduce their energy consumption. The companies have already begun work within the Department of Energy to measure, manage and evaluate energy usage in its data centers at a granular level.

"Creating improved IT infrastructure efficiencies that lead to significant cost reductions is of growing importance to federal agencies, especially in light of the increased budget pressures they're facing," said Scott Paisley, Americas technical director of JouleX. "Triton's expertise in decision support, made possible by the energy intelligence our solution generates, provides the Department of Energy and other agencies the efficiencies they need to make a dramatic sustainability impact."

The Data Center Energy Profiler, or DC Pro, is a web-based, decision support system designed to help industries worldwide identify how energy is being purchased and consumed by their data centers and what can be done to begin saving energy and money as well as reducing carbon emissions. Developed by PPC, under the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Industrial Technologies Program (ITP), DC Pro is a good "first step" in identifying excellent opportunities for savings, improving a company's bottom line, and helping reduce the environmental emissions associated with energy production and use. DC Pro uses data center information, including information on the systems that use energy as well as the breakout of dynamic energy consumption that can be provided by JouleX, to create a customized report for each user. The system provides the user with information on current energy use and cost per unit of production; annual available energy graphs and tables; potential annual energy-savings graphs and tables; assessment of the data center's energy usage compared to others on record; and a customized list of next steps that can be automatically implemented. Since its release in June 2008, more than 800 users have identified savings opportunities through the DC Pro system.

"JouleX provides an energy management system that will add tremendous value to our Data Center Energy Profiler customers," said Neil Wright, chief architect and innovation officer for Triton. "JouleX's agentless, network-based architecture provides a unique solution for monitoring, analyzing and controlling energy consumption in the data center. JouleX automates the collection of energy information into DC Pro, streamlining the process of diagnosing energy use in the data center, saving time, increasing accuracy, and providing 'energy-aware' capacity planning and a baseline for measuring progress over time."
