Smart wiring plays an important role in saving energy and reducing consumption
Has quite part of global electricity consumption from the office building, reduce the waste of this part is one of the important goals in the IT industry.According to the non-profit organization, a company that "carbon trust" Britain's small and medium-sized enterprise cost about 6 billion pounds a year on the energy, of which 1 billion pounds was completely wasted.

At present, the office equipment still need to use electricity, such as computer, phone and wireless access point, consumes power even when not in use.Due to the continued pressure from the government to reduce carbon emissions, and for the sake of the economic interests of the company, as energy costs continue to rise, cios must face up to the maximum energy efficiency requirements.In other words the energy-saving as the top priority.
Therefore, energy management software can be used in conjunction, and smart cabling infrastructure, making IT and the construction personnel to understand, optimize and control the whole enterprise infrastructure of electricity, which have potential impact on electric power equipment.
Smart wiring plug
Popular in the current industry intelligent cabling solution can fill the real-time network management tools and connected to the network equipment of traditional passive structured cabling infrastructure between the lack of the intermediate links.
Smart wiring solutions insight into the physical, by helping IT professionals and network management personnel to ensure the efficiency of network, the method includes providing accurate capacity management reports, generate real-time alarms to detect, locate and solve unauthorized changes in network, real-time automatic detection and tracking to connect to network the physical location of the equipment, USES the support change management of electronic order to cope with change.
Smart wiring solutions have the wall socket and network equipment real-time switch port mapping function of the actual location.This function by combining integrated wiring information, the information from smart wiring hardware and gather in the management of a network switch IP information network equipment.
Smart cabling solution can fully grasp the connection to any physical location of each switch port.Once the wiring information is changed, the system can real-time detect, and automatically update the wiring information maintained by the management software.
Real-time mapping information between the switch port and the wall outlet can make IT managers effectively applying energy management to network devices.Powered by determining when to some location, or when to idle and can be power outages, smart wiring solutions and energy management and optimization of energy consumption in common.
For example, can use a configuration file, all staff are home from work at 7 o 'clock at night, cut off the power of the public area, office building 7 a.m. the next day power supply again.This system can run very extensive, such as the building, concrete floor, single room, even each wall power outlet.
Such features can depend on the location and implementation, so the system can be selectively excluding some position, or alone for some room, office or desk.Smart wiring solutions make IT managers can directly through the software on the surface of the building layout location choice, and decided to use the energy management plan of the specific position.Sometimes also can make a one-time plan, manage the occasional use of the room, such as meeting room or training room.
In addition, smart wiring solution also can track the network connection, flexible execution energy management, in the switch port between the wall socket and start automatically when establishing new connections.As the saying goes, knowledge is power, if you are in the office environment works a little knowledge, so will cause obvious adverse effect.For example, if the operator decided to increase the demand for electricity, heat and use of space, so smart cabling solution can make you have caused the result of the be clear at a glance, to help you make the decision more reasonable use of the equipment.
Enterprise total cost in fact IT is very difficult to define, unless the smart wiring system makes IT visible and controlled.Intelligent monitoring system can provide is very important to reduce operating costs and energy consumption of critical data.
In this case, cios should re-examine the use of the company's network infrastructure and configuration status.They need to know the existing IT tools are sufficient to let employees more efficiently, the current investment are optimized, or whether there is can effectively save energy and operating costs of alternative technologies.
