BearingPoint, Citrix, Red Hat, Sun Microsystems, Tata Consultancy Services,
and TELADATA Praise Cassatt's Strategy to Give Data Centers an Immediate
Starting Point for Improved Energy Efficiency, Application Availability,
and Cost Savings
SAN JOSE, Calif., Nov. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Cassatt(R) Corporation, a
leader in making data centers more efficient, today announced the support
of several leading technology vendors and data center design experts for
its new Cassatt Active Response product line. Cassatt Active Response,
which was unveiled today (please see separate press release, "Cassatt
Launches Active Response Product Line to Help Companies 'Go Green' and Make
Data Centers More Efficient, Reliable, and Responsive"), helps customers
deliver breakthrough energy efficiency, application availability, security,
and responsiveness at a fraction of the capital and operational costs they
are currently spending.
Leading technology and solution vendors including BearingPoint, Citrix,
Red Hat, Sun Microsystems, and Tata Consultancy Services, and data center
design expert TELADATA announced support for the Cassatt strategy to help
customers deliver greener data centers with Cassatt Active Response, and
the underlying Cassatt Active Power Management(TM) technology.
"Sun is working with Cassatt so that customers can use their Active
Response software alongside Sun's open source Solaris OS and energy
efficient hardware," said Dave Douglas, vice president of eco
responsibility for Sun Microsystems. "By combining Cassatt's and Sun's
offerings, customers can see significant reductions in power and cooling
costs while mitigating their impact on the environment."
"Using Citrix XenServer to consolidate servers can drastically reduce
energy costs. Combine that with Cassatt's Active Power Management and you
have a way to help customers cut a significant amount out of their energy
bills," said Simon Crosby, CTO of the Virtualization and Management
Division for Citrix Systems.
"BearingPoint is dedicated to helping clients get the most from their
IT investments. We view green initiatives that promise to reduce energy
with minimal resources as a win-win for everyone, and as a platform with
the potential to transform the data center," said Frederic Veron, managing
director, financial services infrastructure solutions at BearingPoint. "We
are very pleased to be working with Cassatt on Active Power Management
solutions that will enable our clients' data centers to intelligently power
up or down in synch with business cycles and demand."
"TCS' Co-Innovation Network (COIN)TM is always looking for
opportunities to leverage innovative applications that add value to our
customers," said Anand Sivasubramaniam, vice president and head, TCS
Innovation Labs - Infrastructure Services. "We have been excited with the
Cassatt promise and extremely happy to witness the value it has brought to
our customers and TCS' utility computing offering. The joint offering is
helping TCS' customers dynamically manage power challenges and optimize
cost implications. Our success with Cassatt has prompted TCS to leverage
Cassatt as a key solution station for our Next Generation Infrastructure
Lab that hosts and showcases utility computing solutions. The joint work by
TCS and Cassatt provides software and delivery expertise that helps
customers leverage the full spectrum of green IT benefits. Some of the key
technologies that we are building are monitoring, reducing, and even
bounding the power consumption to handle the power crisis, and its cost on
cooling the IT infrastructure." Sivasubramaniam said.
"As a leader in large data center design, TELADATA understands the
importance of integrating requirements from both IT operations and
facilities," said Bob Brown, CEO of TELADATA LLC. "Actively controlling IT
power consumption, in addition to pursuing other electrical and cooling
efficiencies, will play a key role in greener data centers of the future."
"By building a flexible infrastructure we're helping customers drive
costs out of their businesses," said Mindy Anderson, EcoSystem Director at
Red Hat. "Through virtualization and automation we're creating an
infrastructure that is responsive, adaptable and cost effective, and with
Cassatt's help we're creating a more energy efficient data center."
