Last week, IBM announced a new strategy to help businesses deliver green IT covering its Tivoli, Lotus and WebSphere software product families.
The company's ‘Software for a Greener World' initiative includes software designed to help businesses address the growing need to maximise energy efficiency and reduce costs associated with power and cooling.
"While most people think of energy conservation from a hardware perspective, increasingly it is actually software that is providing more options to go green across the entire organisation," said Al Zollar, general manager for Tivoli Software at IBM.
For a start, IBM has developed several add-ons to its Tivoli system management tools family. These include Tivoli Monitoring, IBM Maximo Facility Management and IBM Compliance Warehouse for Legal Control. Tivoli Monitoring software is designed to provide energy management information that enables the optimisation of data centre and facility assets, IBM said.
Other products covered by the initiative include WebSphere Virtual Enterprise, which provides application infrastructure virtualisation for lowering operational and energy costs; Lotus Notes and Domino 8.5 for collaboration to reduce in travel and commuting; and Rational Team Concert, which supports multi-site software development and collaboration, reducing CO2 emissions.

It would be interesting to see any stats on the kind of efficiency/money savings that this software can provide? Also, it sounds like they've simply rebranded systems management/dashboard technology that's been around for years and re-applied it to green IT - is this the case or is it something 'new' ?
