Abstract

In this paper we present a service approach based on the use of embedded network devices for the energy management of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) infrastructures. The service is completely compatible with other strategies in order to achieve an efficient management for saving energy. These devices are very small, with low consumption and specially designed to operate with minimum maintenance, and also they are presented under Services Oriented Architecture open standards, more specifically, as Web Services. In addition, these embedded services can work individually or in collaboration with other ICT enterprise services, either through conventional systems or by means of other embedded devices. To validate the proposal we have implemented a prototype and we have designed a test scenario based in the ICT replicated infrastructure in order to support web applications of the Polytechnic University College at the University of Alicante.
