Benefit |
| View power consumption, temperature and load utilization by system or by
group |
Measure and analyze energy consumption of heterogeneous server and
storage systems by identifying systems with maximum and minimum values,
highest deltas, and faults |
Understand the power consumption profile of the data center to establish
a baseline and then determine how to optimize |
|
| Generate trend reports using charts or by exporting raw data to comma
separated value (CSV), Microsoft Excel, or XML format |
Correlate power draw, temperature and load utilization patterns for one
or more systems, and accurately forecast energy and cooling requirements
based on actual power draw |
More effectively plan for capacity expansion or unexpected changes and
take advantage of energy rebates |
|
| Compare readings between two or more systems
|
Measure energy consumption by time period, such as hour, day, week,
month, quarter and year |
Know whether eco-efficiency investments return a real energy savings |
|
|
Customize groups of servers to view and report by rack, location, system
type, system name or cost center
|
Organize and sort systems logically for administration tasks |
Understand power profiles by group support chargeback billing by group,
and help ensure the data center is being efficiently |
|
|
Receive alerts and escalations for power spikes, thermal anomalies, and
other power-related irregularities
|
Provide proactive anomaly detection |
Proactively detect faults and determine the root cause of power and
thermal events before problems occur
