Tolly Releases Common Test Plan Update for LAN Switch Power Consumption
Test plan addresses key long-term issue of "Green"
BOCA RATON, Florida - Oct. 16, 2009 -- Tolly announced today the availability of the latest update in its series of Tolly Common Test Plans, #1080 LAN Switch Power Consumption. The updated test plan provides detailed methodologies for measuring the power consumption of LAN switches under various traffic conditions.
"Power consumption is forever" said Kevin Tolly, Founder of The Tolly Group. He continued, "Because most LAN switches are deployed for years, even relatively minor differences in power consumption can be magnified over time -- and power/cooling costs along with it." This test plan will provide detailed guidance on measuring power consumption and calculating long-term costs of running a given switch.
As with all Tolly Common Test Plans, this methodology is openly shared with IT vendor experts and effectively peer-reviewed by any interested solution vendor. This assures that all opinions and concerns are heard and that an effective, vendor-neutral test plan is produced.
The Tolly Common Test Plan #1080 is available now for license by IT professionals. Contact Tolly for more information.
