BUYER INTELLIGENCE
WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW BEFORE
BUYING.
Six things experienced IT buyers wish they'd known earlier — plus the analyst evidence behind the OEM's market position.
01
Live power data needs intelligent PDUs
Measured consumption depends on SNMP-capable PDUs and sensors. Without them, figures fall back on nameplate estimates, which is what you were trying to escape.
04
Carbon factors vary by region and provider
CO₂ attribution depends on grid emission factors and provider data. Confirm the factors used match what your ESG reporting requires.
02
The 30% claim assumes idle kit exists
Device42's own figure comes from estates carrying significant idle capacity. A well-consolidated estate has far less to reclaim.
05
Scope covers IT, not the whole footprint
This measures IT infrastructure energy and carbon. Facilities, travel and supply chain emissions stay in your wider ESG platform.
03
Decommissioning is organisational, not technical
Finding a zombie server is easy; getting an owner to agree it can be switched off is not. Dependency mapping helps, but the conversation is still political.
06
Sustainability is a use case, not a separate SKU
This runs on the same device-based subscription as ITAM and the rest. You are licensing devices, not buying a sustainability product separately.

ABOUT DEVICE42
MEASURED IT CARBON. NOT MODELLED GUESSWORK.
Device42, a Freshworks company, turns the same discovery data that powers its asset register into an energy and carbon picture — identifying what draws power, what sits idle, and what can be switched off without consequence.
Device42 Sustainability & Power Reduction identifies energy-intensive assets, idle and zombie servers, and CO₂ emissions by application, site and vendor from discovered infrastructure data — so a power reduction target is pursued against measured consumption rather than against a modelled estimate in a spreadsheet.
Because energy data ties to the same CI records as the asset register and dependency map, an idle server can be traced to its application owner before anyone switches it off. Device42 reports customers achieving 30% or more reduction in both power cost and carbon footprint.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
GOT QUESTIONS?
WE'VE GOT ANSWERS.
The questions every buyer asks before purchasing through Stackingo—pricing, licensing, what's included, and what to expect.
01
What's the minimum discount on Device42 Sustainability & Power Reduction through Stackingo?
At minimum, Stackingo prices Device42 Sustainability & Power Reduction 10% under Freshworks's list rate, within the bounds of Freshworks's authorized discount programme.
💡
Keep in mind: Measured power data depends on SNMP-capable PDUs and sensors; estates without intelligent power hardware fall back on nameplate estimates rather than live draw.
02
How much comes off Device42 Sustainability & Power Reduction list price?
On average, buyers save up to 55% versus Freshworks direct list pricing, structured within the authorized reseller programme rather than ad hoc markdowns.
⚠️
Device42 prices on device count, which includes the idle servers you are trying to find. The first year often pays for itself twice — once in reclaimed power, once in devices removed from the count.
03
Why buy Device42 Sustainability & Power Reduction through Stackingo?
Beyond the 10%-to-55% discount, Stackingo's value on Device42 Sustainability & Power Reduction is commercial clarity — flagging the traps that inflate Device42 bills:
Device count includes the idle kit you are hunting
Intelligent PDUs are required for measured, not estimated, draw
The 30% figure assumes an estate carrying idle capacity
Decommissioning is an organisational effort, not a technical one
Carbon factors must match your ESG reporting basis
All seven use cases sit on one subscription
✓
You submit one RFQ across every product and quantity, get a single comparable quote, and gain renewal defence so you never auto-renew at list.
04
Can Stackingo also implement Device42 Sustainability & Power Reduction?
More than licensing. Stackingo sells Device42 Sustainability & Power Reduction and can stand it up end to end — spanning Automatic Energy Discovery, CO₂ Emissions Tracking, Idle & Zombie Asset Detection, Power Benchmarking by Site, Reduction Recommendations, and Sustainability Reporting Dashboards.
🛠️
Stackingo will deliver in-house, orchestrate a certified partner, or benchmark independent quotes for you, so the licence and the rollout sit side by side on one proposal.
05
What is Device42 Sustainability & Power Reduction and who is it best for?
Discovery-driven energy and carbon reduction for IT estates from a Freshworks company, cloud or on-premises.
