EDS, an HP Company, today launched its Carbon Emissions Management Service (CEMS) in the Indian market. The service will help government organizations and enterprises accurately calculate energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions emanating from information technology assets.
“EDS’ innovative services will help customers manage carbon emissions and energy consumption of their IT assets, thus enhancing their efficiency and utilization,” said Sundeep Khisty, EDS' Green Practice Leader in Asia Pacific and Japan, “Whether to reduce cost and improve energy efficiency, or to help corporate social responsibility activities, managing and reducing greenhouse gas emissions is the primary task for enterprises all around the world.”
EDS CEMS is a comprehensive suite of services developed in Australia to help organizations drive IT asset efficiency, and create greener technology environments. The suite will help enterprises and governments deliver savings on energy costs, and manage their IT infrastructure in line with local and international environmental regulatory frameworks.
The CEMS framework was designed based on international greenhouse gas calculation rules and methodologies to enable organizations to capture real-time carbon emissions arising from each service unit, IT application and infrastructure. At its core is C-Counter, an EDS-developed application, which measures, monitors, stores and reports the carbon emission information of institutional IT assets.
“HP–EDS’ approach to managing IT environments focuses on efficiency, sustainability, and the reduction of energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, " said Marshal Correia, Director of EDS, an HP Company in India. "We are confident this approach will help HP and EDS in India contribute to the development of greener enterprises, governments and cities by minimizing carbon emissions and power consumption, and thus enhancing sustainable IT practices.”
