Energy consumption and the dollar amount that comes every month on the power bill is a concern for many small and mid-sized businesses. Generally companies will have multiple servers running to keep their programs, email and data functioning around the clock and they fall victim to server bloat. How much money are you really spending to keep your servers running? Want to find out?

The E.E.D. Watts Up Pro Monitor is a single device monitor for only $115.00. With one power input for monitoring simply connect your battery backup device into the unit and start receiving your data on power usage. Using the device is simple. Plug the monitor into an three-prong grounded electric outlet. Plug the device to be evaluated into the top of the monitor. The monitor will immediately display the wattage demanded by the electrical device. If the monitor is left plugged in for a period of time it will display the cumulative amount of electricity consumed or the cumulative cost of the electricity used (based on your local electric rate).

Up to 2,000 records (or 3,000 if only recording watts) are processed which may be downloaded to a PC computer with the supplied PC software via a USB cable. The software allows access to the data table, offers charting and payback analysis, and permits the export of data in a comma-delimited format.  Information provided includes current watts, minimum watts, maximum watts, power factor, cumulative watt hours, average monthly kilowatt hours, tier 2 kilowatt hour threshold (used to calculate secondary kWh rates), elapsed time, cumulative cost, average monthly cost, line volts, minimum volts, maximum volts, current amps, minimum amps, and maximum amps.

So, how can you use this information to minimize your power consumption?  What options are available for reducing the energy footprint of your technology systems?  To find out, sign up for our Free RevITup Easy-to-GreenIT Technology Audit.  We’ll provide you with a Green IT Scorecard, Quick Green Recommendations and a Green IT Roadmap to help you get on course for greener technology pastures.
