By combining critical infrastructure information provided by Emerson Network Power through the Trellis platform and Joyent's orchestration layer, both companies can track the energy consumption of virtual workloads and the impact each virtual workload has on the physical infrastructure. Operators will gain complete visibility across their entire cloud, from the power grid up, enabling discrete workload/watt measurements and allowing them to redeploy applications to their appropriate owners. Workload/watt measurement will also enable operators to optimize the entire infrastructure based on application energy efficiency. The Trellis platform's real-time architecture, built specifically for this purpose with hardware and software designed to work seamlessly with Avocent®'s Universal Management Gateway, is the first of its kind and the only solution currently available that can achieve this.
Integrating the Trellis platform with Joyent's SmartDatacenter will bring infrastructure visibility to the cloud orchestration layer, enabling optimized resource delivery that improves overall performance, energy efficiency, and cost reduction. Key benefits include up to 70 percent faster infrastructure resource deployment through quicker and more efficient resource provisioning. Other advantages that can be achieved through improved infrastructure management include up to 40 percent reduction in maintenance costs, up to 25 percent reduction in energy costs, and up to 50 percent reduction in capital expenditures.
