The service will help government organisations and enterprises calculate energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions emanating from IT assets.
Thursday, June 04, 2009: EDS, an HP Company, has come up with its Carbon Emissions Management Service (CEMS) for the Indian market. EDS CEMS is a comprehensive suite of services developed in Australia to help organisations drive IT asset efficiency and create greener technology environments.
The suite, according to EDA, will help enterprises and governments deliver savings on energy costs and manage their IT infrastructure in line with local and international environmental regulatory frameworks.
“EDS’ innovative services will help customers manage carbon emissions and energy consumption of their IT assets, thus enhancing their efficiency and utilisation,” said Sundeep Khisty, green practice leader, EDS, Asia Pacific and Japan. “Whether to reduce cost and improve energy efficiency, or to help corporate social responsibility activities, managing and reducing greenhouse gas emissions is the primary task for enterprises all around the world.”
The CEMS framework was designed based on international greenhouse gas calculation rules and methodologies to enable organisations to capture real-time carbon emissions arising from each service unit, IT application and infrastructure. At its core is C-Counter, an EDS-developed application, which measures, monitors, stores and reports the carbon emission information of institutional IT assets.
“HP–EDS’ approach to managing IT environments focusses on efficiency, sustainability and the reduction of energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions,” said Marshal Correia, director, EDS. “We are confident this approach will help HP and EDS in India contribute to the development of greener enterprises, governments and cities by minimising carbon emissions and power consumption, and thus enhancing sustainable IT practices.”
