Energy Logic Online Assessment

This activity will form the basis for Emerson to assess your current infrastructure status visa vie the Energy Logic approach.

After you complete and submit this form we will:

Formulate a series of recommendations that will provide further focus to your Energy reduction initiatives. This recommendation will be tailored to your response so is not an automated reply and will take up to 5 working days to complete
Based on the severity of your IT Infrastructure challenges, we will recommend an action plan that has a physical infrastructure audit and assessment as its basis

Q2.
Are you presently undertaking initiatives towards
energy reduction in your data center? *required Yes No Don't know

Q3.
What steps are you taking to optimize/reduce
