Business:Work smarter and provide advanced services.

Data centers, offices, and stores: we enable energy savings in every type of business.

IT systems are getting complicated, and servers now operate 24/7. This leads to ballooning levels of power consumption at data centers, offices, and stores-levels that have now become a serious social problem. Introducing energy-saving ICT devices, turning lights off when not needed, and saving energy on air conditioners are important measures that need to be taken to solve this problem. However, these measures will soon not be enough. We will need a system that can manage every aspect of energy use, from the efficient running of individual devices to the revolutionizing of work styles themselves.

Key actions for more ecologically sound business operations:

  • Optimize energy consumption by visualizing environmental information.
  • Implement automated energy-saving control by linking with human activities using sensors, etc.
  • Implement total energy control from ICT devices to facilities.
  • Save energy through work style innovations such as telecommuting.

In offices and stores

NEC provides a wide range of energy-saving devices from servers to POS terminals and lighting products. We also promote improved energy efficiency through visualization and control of environmental information by monitoring power consumption, temperature, and humidity level.

NEC also widely supports energy savings through work style innovations implemented by cutting-edge ICT. We can provide a telecommuting work style that is not limited by time and location by using a thin client system with excellent security, a highly realistic video teleconferencing system, and e-learning. Environmental impact can be reduced by cutting down on commuting and business trips.

We also promote a paperless office through document digitalization, an electronic filing cabinet, and digital signage. With our wide range of energy-efficiency measures based on cutting-edge ICT technology, NEC enables energy savings in every kind of office and store.

At data centers

Today's data centers feature high CPU densities and large-scale server installations. They also consume a lot of power-both due to the power consumption of the ICT devices themselves, and due to the energy consumed by incidental equipment such as air conditioners and power systems. This has now become a serious issue. NEC provides energy-saving platforms such as low-power servers and storage devices, and middleware to autonomously control power consumption. These platforms also realize energy savings for the entire data center by improving the running efficiency of incidental equipment such as lighting equipment, power systems, air conditioners, and cooling systems.
