Cisco® and SolarWinds have partnered to provide you with an easy-to-use, network-based solution for energy management that uses Cisco EnergyWise technology.
Cisco EnergyWise focuses on reducing the energy consumption of all devices connected to a Cisco network ranging from Power over Ethernet (PoE) devices, such as IP phones and wireless access points to IP-enabled building and lighting controllers.
EnergyWise technology gives you a framework for discovering, monitoring, optimizing, advising, and regulating energy needs for your business. Cisco EnergyWise encompasses a highly intelligent, network-based approach to communicate messages that control energy between network devices and endpoints.
The Orion product family enables energy management with a few simple steps:
- First, run an Orion NPM EnergyWise readiness report to find all EnergyWise supported devices on your network.
- Next, use Orion Network Configuration Manager to complete a batch update of the IOS for each device to a level that supports EnergyWise features.
- Then, select which energy policy settings you want to use to start managing your network’s energy consumption.
- Finally, report on your network’s energy consumption and savings from Orion’s intuitive web console which automatically recognizes EnergyWise enabled devices.
