CA Technologies announced new and enhanced offerings in its CA ecoSoftware solution designed to further extend the company's support for Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) and IT energy management. The improved capabilities in CA ecoMeter 3.0 and the new CA ecoDesktop offering can help IT and facilities staff gain greater availability, agility and efficiency in their data center and IT operations. CA ecoMeter 3.0 has expanded its existing DCIM capabilities to include template-driven auto-discovery of facility and IT assets to accelerate inventory capture for rapid implementation. The product also provides integration with CA Application Insight Modules for accurate mapping between logical or virtual components and the physical infrastructure on which they depend, for efficient management of IT and cloud-based services. CA ecoMeter 3.0 also leverages CA Executive Insight Manager to provide mobile device users with role-based insight into availability, performance and operational efficiency across the data center. CA ecoDesktop is a new solution that supports an inventory-based approach to managing desktop power. It helps organizations identify savings opportunities and implement profiles to increase efficiency while addressing the requirements of end users for uninterrupted access to their systems. CA ecoDesktop also delivers reporting to help organizations demonstrate energy cost savings and reductions in carbon emissions.
