JouleX Launches JouleX-Ready™ Technology Partner Program

Calxeda, FieldServer Technologies, Project Performance Corporation, and WeSustain Are Among the First to Be Validated for the JouleX Energy Manager Platform Share

ATLANTA, May 30, 2012 -- JouleX, a leading innovator in enterprise energy management systems for data centers, distributed office environments, and facilities, today announced the launch of the JouleX-Ready™ technology partner program. Available globally, the JouleX-Ready program, which includes a comprehensive software development kit (SDK), will provide technical validation and assurance for software and hardware vendors to ensure compatibility and interoperability with the JouleX Energy Manager (JEM) platform.

The JouleX-Ready program spans a variety of vendors that offer hardware and software including devices for distributed offices, data centers, and facilities systems, including the following categories of solutions:

PDU/Smart PDU/racks/smart meters/UPS
Facilities/building management devices/interfaces Industrial/process automation devices/interfaces Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) IT asset management systems Environmental sensors/monitoring Virtual computing Storage devices and management Thin clients/personal computers/mobile devices PC power management Server power management Network management/infrastructure VoIP devices and management systems

"With the growing interest in enterprise energy management, we are constantly looking for avenues to help our partners extend their offerings to meet their customers' needs?whether it is providing technical validation and support or enhancing global marketing initiatives," said Tom Noonan, president and CEO at JouleX. "The JouleX-Ready technology partner program formalizes these activities to provide partners with the technical resources and professional guidance that our own customers have come to expect from the JouleX brand."

JouleX has made it easy to become part of the JouleX-Ready program. Vendors simply complete an application and, once approved, they gain access to the JouleX Energy Manager Software Development Kit (SDK) and other technical resources to assist them. Once the vendor's solution is validated, they can display the JouleX-Ready logo on their packaging and marketing materials for qualified offerings. Additionally, their companies are listed on the JouleX-Ready webpage, giving them global visibility to customers, service providers, system integrators and sales teams worldwide that may be looking for readily deployable enterprise energy management offerings.

Key partners such as Calxeda, FieldServer Technologies, Project Performance Corporation, and WeSustain are already leveraging the JouleX-Ready program to validate their solution integrations with the JouleX Energy Manager platform.

"We leverage the JouleX-Ready technology partner program for our FieldServer Gateways to provide energy visibility, analysis, and control for non-IP systems and devices," said Richard Theron, national sales manager for FieldServer Technologies. "Achieving JouleX-Ready validation shows customers that our solution meets or exceeds JouleX compatibility criteria and successfully integrates with one or more of the JouleX Energy Manager products."
