You've heard me say many times that 'virtualization is the first IT technology in my career that has real value the CFO can measure.' The feature of virtualization that most launched it into today's public eye is in how it saves costs - dramatic costs - for power-hungry datacenters.Sexual Assault and Harassment: Students shall refrain from using language or acting in a manner that is disrespectful or inappropriate towards other students and members of the college community.Illegal Substances & Betting: The use of illegal drugs and alcohol & Involved in any kind of betting is not permitted on college property as well as the abuse or misuse of prescription drugs.In order to ensure that the campus facilities remain in pristine condition, students are also expected to report instances of graffiti or defacement/damage of college property immediately as well as consciously account for or dispose properly of their belongings. Yet while virtualization does indeed save power, the unfortunate failing for most of us is in really measuring those cost savings. We can tell our business leaders, “We’re saving money with virtualization.” But without the real numbers to back that assertion up, our statements aren’t worth the electrons they’re written on. That’s one of the reasons why I’ve recently elected to invest in a wireless power meter device for the home office.

Using such a device, I can fairly accurately tell how much power my devices are consuming. Wirelessly paired to a remote display here on my desk, I can see in real time how my device usage impacts the utility bottom line. Many of these power meters are intended for home use.

Right now today, $129 USD gets you a complete 120V/240V kit called the PowerSave Envi. Needing no professional installation, this ingenious little device uses passive clamps around your main feed to monitor and report on power usage. $149 will get a business-quality power meter that supports commercial 3 phase electrical.Īnother $12 buys you a custom cable that enables connecting the device to a computer for the purposes of uploading data to Google Power Meter, an online service for logging and storing your long-term power metrics.

Alternatively, a soon-to-come $69 web bridge enables a direct-to-LAN connection. What’s best is that these things are CHEAP. With it, you’ll get the actual measurements you’ll need to prove your RoV.Īs a result, every business who is taking the virtualization path for power savings reasons really should consider the miniscule added investment in a device such as this.
