Backed by North Bridge Venture Partners and Battery Ventures, Viridity Software’s ERM products facilitate IT managers to understand power consumption and equipment utilization. The Viridity EnergyCenter ERM software helps increase data center energy productivity and efficiency. Its EnergyCheck software gives quick updates about current power consumption. It helps to understand the actual amount of power required in the data center and thus plan potential savings.

Based in Burlington, MA, Viridity Software has built up a strong management and technical team drawn from companies like Hewlett Packard, Symantec, Motorola, APC, and Digital Equipment among others. As IT-based demands grow, the need for green computing initiatives is increasing. Viridity’s breakthrough technology expands the energy assets of an organization in a virtual environment. Viridity specializes in Energy Simulation & Planning, Virtual Generation & Smart Grid Operation. Viridity Software helps businesses run eco-friendly data centers, thus enabling optimal power consumption. It provides in-depth insight on how to strategize and action energy saving processes.

Viridity carries out its goals by focussing on a few specific areas which include reducing data center energy costs and utilizing the data center floor space better. Improving the data center power management is also one of its prime goals. Besides, using Viridity helps increase the data center life cycle by 2-3 years, reduce costs of power and cooling, and therefore enhance staff productivity. It takes only a few hours to obtain meaningful data about energy consumption habits once the Viridity EnergyCenter software is activated. Viridity also explains how to measure gains from the green data center initiative. It explains to the user when it is advisable to switch onto more efficient servers. It follows a three-pronged approach – retire, consolidation, technical refresh – to reduce the power consumption of servers.
Viridity Software has recently featured in Network World’s “10 Hot Tools for the Next-Generation Data Center” listing.

Since datacenters are the integral part of any organisation so it needs the most attention. Viridity maintains an equilibrium  between power, utilization and cooling to increase the life of datacenter and hence it works more , is more reliable , more responsive and all of it comes with a reduced cost.

Few of the benefits of the Company are:

• It is completely transparent towards the stepwise action plans.
• Datacenter life cycle is increased by 2-3 years.
• Improved services such as reliability, responsiveness and efficiency.
• Reduction in the cost of power and cooling.
• Staff productivity is enhanced by letting the less skilled employees do the  everyday(less important) job.

Viridity is a software start-up which is growing very fast and will soon be a leading company in managing datacenters in a greener way.

That led to lot of soul searching, resulting in shocking revelation that we don’t know much about our energy usage. What better way to learn than by blogging our current events, analysis and generally keeping ourselves ‘honest’ about our data center practices.
