Our world’s population grows exponentially every year and as a result, our global resources are steadily declining. The repercussions of environmental waste are being given more attention than ever before as we try to halt the rapid consumption of our global energy supply. More often than not, eyes turn to smoke stacks and car exhaust pipes when the words ”power consumption” are mentioned. Lately however, this has been changing with more and more attention being placed on lesser known sources of energy wastage-one of the largest of which is the IT industry.
Indeed, as of 2012, the IT industry accounted for 25 percent of global commercial energy usage.
From the efforts to reduce this number emerged the Global PC and Server Power Management Software Market, which has swelled to a net size of US$ 314.43 with a CAGR of 35.48 percent for the 2012-2016 period.
It would be a lie however, to say that compassion for environmental well-being is the only driving force behind the huge increase in demand for power management software. In reality, one of
the biggest drivers behind the industry is the need to reduce overall operating costs of enterprises.
Statistics show that power and cooling requirements in data centers now occupy almost 50 percent of the average organization’s IT budget. PC and server power management software can reduce this number significantly, by monitoring the efficiency of energy use and providing real-time information about power and cooling consumption to assist in energy management.
At the end of the day, the incentives of adopting PC and Server Power Management Software are undeniable in both environmental and monetary terms. In the 21st century, our society’s economic and environmental infrastructures are more fragile than ever, and individuals, enterprises, and government groups all share the common interest of finding an answer to this issue. We at TechNavio believe that PC and Server Power Management Software is a vital step towards such an answer.
