Bert Joins JouleX-Ready Technology Partner Program

Best Energy Reduction Technologies has joined the JouleX-Ready technology partner program.

Best Energy Reduction Technologies is a manufacturer of Bert, a WiFi (News - Alert) plug and JouleX that specializes in providing enterprise energy management systems for data centers, distributed office environments, and facilities.

Customers can leverage the fully integrated JouleX and Bert solution to manage both the IT and non-IT plug load. The companies claim the solution can reduce energy costs by as much as 70 percent.

“We are excited to join the JouleX-Ready technology partner program and team with JouleX to provide customers a unique solution that reduces plug load for both IT and non-IT devices,” said Scott Yetter, CEO of Best Energy Reduction Technologies.

Elaborating further on the integrated solution, the companies say that it enables building and energy managers to effectively manage their non-IT plug load with their existing Wi-Fi network along with their IT plug load in a central dashboard.

This capability is said to provide visibility into all plug loads in context with other building loads such as HVAC and lighting.

“The combined solution of JouleX and Bert provides organizations with a plug load system that can measure energy usage, identify savings and reduce energy waste throughout the entire enterprise,” said Tom Noonan, president and CEO at JouleX. “We are excited to go to market to provide an integrated plug load solution to customers around the globe.”

The JouleX-Ready program includes a software development kit (SDK) designed to provide technical validation and assurance for software and hardware vendors ensuring compatibility and interoperability with the JouleX Energy Manager platform.

JouleX is encouraging companies interested in the JouleX-Ready technology partner program to access the vendor application online at their website.

JouleX was in news earlier this year for introducing version 4.0 of the JouleX Energy Manager (JEM) platform. This enterprise-class energy management solution has been designed to significantly cut down the total cost of ownership of network and data center infrastructure for enterprises and managed service providers.
