Emerson
Network Power, a business of Emerson (NYSE: EMR) and a global leader
in maximizing availability, capacity and efficiency of critical
infrastructure, today announced that a Total Economic Impact
(TEI) study found that Emerson’s data center infrastructure management
(DCIM) platform can achieve 100 percent return on investment (ROI) in
just 13 months.
The commissioned study, conducted by Forrester Consulting on behalf of
Emerson, analyzed data from and interviewed 12 Emerson Network Power
customers, including a global bank customer – with offices in the Middle
East, Europe, Asia, Australia and the U.S. – who was chosen as the focus
for a detailed case study. The customer has three data centers which
total more than 6,000 square feet, including one data center
specifically designed for disaster recovery. The ROI analysis found that
the customer captured $1.6 million in total benefits in three years.
Among those benefits were increased system availability, improved
productivity with remote management, and reduced power consumption and
energy savings:
-
DCIM enabled an increase in availability by 20 hours per year,
capturing more than $1.2 million in downtime-related costs alone over
the three-year period.
-
The customer saved more than five hours a day through centralized
management of its three data centers. Remote management allowed
savings of travel-related costs reaching almost $39,000 a year, and
allowed the customer to build out a new data center while saving time
as well as workforce management expenses of nearly $95,000.
-
Emerson’s DCIM solution also reduced power consumption and related
energy costs by $10,600 per year.
“The ability to verify ROI is top of mind for our customers, and the
time-to-payback can be a major factor in the decision process,” said
Scott Barbour, executive vice president of Emerson Network Power. “We
know our DCIM solutions bring significant savings to customers, and now
we have a study that, in our opinion, validates these benefits. We are
excited to provide potential DCIM customers with similar ROI measurement
and analysis to help them justify expenditures.”
The Total Economic Impact™ of the Emerson DCIM Solution is the
published DCIM payback analysis.
