Its the only approach that monitors, reports and controls power consumption on a mass scale for both PoE, IT and non-IT devices such as facility lighting, AC, heating etc. It'll take a while but it will get there.

The initial deployment is for PoE devices only, perhaps more value will appear later. I would be more impressed if Cisco took a look at their own power consumption on their switches and routers. In the continuum of equipment providers, they are at the high end of the scale. As for devices connected to the network, Microsoft and other vendors have programs to optimize power use and APC has a power use aware power strip that turns off peripherals if the PC goes in to hibernation.
