EasyVirt surfs on data center energy optimization needs

EasyVirt, a french IT software vendor founded in 2011, joined The IT Press Tour this week in Valletta, Malta, and it was the perfect opportunity to learn more about their solutions.

We spent some time to illustrate electricity and energy consumption and it becomes even more critical with the fast growing AI usage. At the same time Europe continues to promote new regulations probably to let China and Indian overtake Europe... and for that Europe is really a champion.

The company develops 3 solutions - DC Scope, DC NetScope and CO2 Scope - with a small highly skilled team and generates around €1 million in 2024. They're recognized for their expertise in IT infrastructure virtualization, FinOps and CloudOps and Green IT, confirmed by 100+ cross industries customers with names like Safran, Fleury Michon, La Poste, Pole Emploi, CNES, MAIF or Amundi among others.

They approach their prospects having strong desire to understand the green impact of their digital services but clearly they don't know where to start. But it appears that it is very difficult to build such solution due to the collection of energy measurement challenge and the choice of the right algorithms with the necessity to not alter current services. 

DC Scope targets virtualized environments deployed on-premises or in the cloud and of course in a hybrid model. DC NetScope is dedicated to the network traffic analysis and CO2 Scope's mission is around IT Carbon measurement. These solutions are stressed and used by their clients and improvements are included regularly based on end-users feedbacks. The various cases studies have generated a reduction in vCPU or RAMs, deletion of VMs, hypervisor deletions, resizing of production environments or other gains. The philosophy is agent-less and no SaaS model is available, everything is local and secure for better control. Until now VMware has represented the hypervisor of choice for the team and they plan to add Proxmox, Nutanix AVH, Kubernetes with Red Hat OpenShift and VMware Tanzu but also GPU as it is a significant energy burner. Later they think about adding XCP-ng.

EasyVirt sells its solutions via a network of partners such as resellers, integrators, MSPs or even consulting firms like Capgemini, or CGI but even Dell. A 30 days trial is available promoting a try and buy model. The pricing is based on perpetual model also a subscription one on-demand. We'll see where EasyVirt is going but clearly their approach fits current end-users needs, no doubt.
