DataCenter Energy Management Question for Cisco

Can someone please illustrate where Cisco's Solutions start and stop as related to Green IT? I am not talking hardware [i.e. the Nexus/infiniband/10-40g/VMWare/Consolidated Switching/Energy Efficient Ethernet/LB power down redundant firewalls and hand off to EMC/NetApp storage, and that it can be housed in an APC HD rack/cooling.] I am not asking about Cisco DataCenter energy audits/planning/education. I am asking beyond the hardware or consulting, and static efficiency identification tools, what other Green IT products does Cisco offer? Do you have any real-time datacenter energy management software suites? Are they holistic/agnostic that have visibility into facilities cooling and down to rack and x86 server level? I recognize the product hardware rediness and advancements but do tools exist to leverage them? For example the Tools to help change business behavior and processes like automatically shedding heat/power load on the nights and weekends and restart again when work load increases?
Do you find this valuable?
