eMeter Joins VMware Technology Alliance Partnership (TAP) Program
SAN MATEO, Calif., July 16 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --
eMeter Customers Can Save Hardware Costs by Leveraging VMware Technology
eMeter, a global leader in clean energy technology, today announced it has joined the VMware
Technology Alliance Partner (TAP) program. The VMware TAP program helps technology vendors integrate
their products with VMware virtualization software and deliver timely, joint solutions to mutual customers.
Through eMeter's support of EnergyIP(TM) software running on VMware
Infrastructure 3, eMeter's utility customers now have a combined solution to
increase performance, cut operating costs, and achieve greener operations. VMware Infrastructure 3
improves business continuity and strengthens the security of eMeter's EnergyIP software. The capabilities of
VMware
virtualization software and technology help eMeter customers cut costs through
virtualization and hardware consolidation resulting in reduced hardware and operating costs required to run
EnergyIP. Cost savings and benefits are realized immediately through a smaller total foot print in the
datacenter including lower overall power and cooling requirements and a smaller carbon
footprint enabling customers to meet their green initiatives.
"This is a great benefit to our customers. It allows them to virtualize
in their environments at a significant hardware cost savings. VMware
Infrastructure also provides a built-in redundant infrastructure that will meet many IT shops' high availability
and disaster recovery needs. We are presently working on offering templates and appliances which would
reduce the
implementation time significantly," said Larsh Johnson, president and CTO of
eMeter. "This also fits well with the fact that EnergyIP, as meter data
management (MDM) software, is a cornerstone component of the Smart Grid
infrastructure and key to the ability of utilities to implement large-scale consumer energy efficiency
programs."
eMeter provides software that enables utilities to realize the full
benefits of their Smart Grid and Advanced Metering initiatives including
demand response programs. Demand response programs have been shown to
conserve up to 20 percent of electricity typically used.
"We are excited to welcome eMeter as the newest member of the VMware TAP
program," said Bernie Mills, senior director, alliance programs, VMware. "The
VMware TAP program offers companies like eMeter the tools and resources they
need to develop high-value solutions that meet the needs of our mutual
customers."
With more than 650 members worldwide, the VMware TAP program works with best-of-breed technology
partners to provide them a comprehensive set of VMware technical and marketing services, support, tools
and expertise to deliver enhanced value to joint customers.
