We have some exciting news to share today. After months of development and working with end users, we have officially unveiled our new CA ecoSoftware solutions designed to help organizations manage carbon emissions, reduce the consumption of natural resources and cut energy costs. We also announced on Friday that we have earned accreditation from the Carbon Disclosure Project as a Carbon Calculation Partner.
The two new ecoSoftware products offer a comprehensive solution addressing sustainability management, carbon management, environmental assessments and operational energy management. Our goal is to help companies manage the implementation, progress and outcomes of global sustainability initiatives more effectively, to measure and report reliably on energy and natural resource consumption, to account for carbon emissions, and to reduce energy costs across the datacenter and facilities.
Following is a brief recap of the news, and the full release is available here.
CA ecoGovernance includes a centralized repository and management dashboard that provides visual tools for gaining improved control over enterprise-wide sustainability initiatives. It offers a common source of data based on a shared set of terms and categories, helping to facilitate collaboration, and serves as a fully-auditable system of record. It also features advanced sustainability program and project management capabilities, the ability to evaluate progress against business objectives, and automated survey assessments for use internally and externally (with suppliers or other third parties).

As I mentioned above, we are now a Carbon Calculation Partner of the CDP, having completed a thorough product testing and review process administered by an independent third-party authority on greenhouse gas accounting, auditing and management. Our solution also meets the requirements of the GHG Protocol, which many organizations are using as their emissions accounting and reporting standard.
CA ecoMeter is an operational energy management solution that captures detailed energy-related information from devices within the datacenter and in other facilities across the enterprise. It is designed to allow IT, datacenter and facilities managers to attribute energy consumption and power demand to specific devices, business units, or buildings, and helps to monitor, measure, and optimize the savings of server consolidation and virtualization efforts in the datacenter. Managed services providers can leverage CA ecoMeter to more accurately account for energy consumption down to the customer level, leading to more rapid, accurate and flexible pricing models.
Datotel, a provider of business solutions including private cloud computing, colocation, and hosted managed services, has implemented CA ecoSoftware for operational energy management. According to Eric McFarland, facility manager at Datotel:
"We've been very pleased with the outcome of our initial implementation, completed earlier this year. CA ecoMeter allows us to better monitor and manage our datacenter capacity and energy use, and we're now in the process of expanding the solution throughout our datacenter. We're also now able to more accurately track energy consumption down to the individual customer, allowing us to provide more detailed, automated invoicing of energy use, rather than relying on time-consuming calculations in spreadsheets. Our customers appreciate this new level of transparency, and can also use the data we provide to improve their efficiency-by better managing server load, for example-saving them money."
