Energy monitoring has become one of the hottest topics in technology, and the current economic climate is only accelerating that interest. As IT shops in companies large and small try to reduce their energy costs, we wonder what impact we would bring about if every household did its fair share to reduce its energy consumption.

Google is currently beta testing its Power Meter for a consumer to monitor their home power usage through a gadget on their iGoogle page.

At GQuotient, we plan on take advantage of our scalable, secure software platform architecture to show enterprises a detailed view of their energy use in a similar fashion. The key is to marry energy use with actual utilization data across a heterogeneous landscape of IT and communication assets. We want to prove to our customers, through metrics that we collect, that we can achieve sustainable monetization by greening their ICT landscape.
