Going Green? Back it With Sound Data

When it comes to calling one’s company environmentally conscious, or green-friendly, the proof is in the putting — putting sound data behind your claim.

Before Juniper Networks could claim an energy efficient core router, it turned to Ixia and its IxGreen performance test system and its iSimCity facility to provide the sound data.

Ixia and Juniper, along with Lawrence Berkeley National Labs (LBNL) formed the Energy Consumption Rating (ECR) Initiative, a framework for measuring the energy efficiency of network and telecom devices. (The LBNL is a U.S. Department of Energy national laboratory located in Berkeley, Calif. It conducts unclassified scientific research and is managed by the University of California.) Key definitions and methodology of the proposed ECR metric initiative were introduced last week at a public iSimCity event in Santa Clara, Calif., which you can learn more about by clicking on the source link below.
