subject: Data Center Energy Smart Power Management Show Their Skills [print this page] Data center power consumption is an important operating cost of the expenditure. Around this demand, the industry introduced a variety of energy-saving products and solutions, but the electricity directly to equipment to monitor and manage rare. Recently, KVM (room monitoring and management) vendors Raritan (Raritan) pioneered a smart Power supply Management solution for data center power saving added a good helper.
Raritan enjoyed a high reputation in the field of KVM, and its new smart Power supply In the field of Raritan KVM management took many years of accumulated experience and equipment monitoring and control at Raritan PDU (power distribution unit) side of the latest combined. This is a comprehensive power management software, intelligent PDU and the environment Sensor Equipment, software and hardware integration solution that provides remote power control, rack-and device-level monitoring capabilities for data center managers to provide useful information to improve equipment uptime and capacity planning.
The program by the intelligent PDU (Intelligent PDU) and PowerIQ power management software. Intelligent PDU through Cabinets Power level and device-side monitoring and management, an accurate count of equipment-level power consumption for use Capacitance Volume control and collection of electricity provided accurate data based. The difference between ordinary PDU also is intelligent PDU to the remote site as the same person at the device power on, off, reboot operations, and repair failures, security systems up and running, but also will idle PDU Socket Make no power state, insert the device to eliminate human errors caused by the overload trip PDU and equipment downtime, and through the delay configuration PDU socket calls to avoid equipment while in power due to power outages caused by peak instantaneous current trip. Raritan's Intelligent PDU's biggest feature is that not only provides a measurement of each port's power capabilities, but also the microenvironment of the device temperature and humidity monitoring.
Raritan, CEO and president, said Dr. Xu Qingyi traditional PDU can only be done in the measurement of the overall measurement, and Raritan's intelligent PDU accurate to measure the consumption of power per port, more importantly, the data after these measures will be collected to provide a reference for managers.
Addition to intelligent PDU, the power management software can not belittle the role of PowerIQ. According to Dr. Xu Qingyi description, equipment, electricity consumption and the equipment, temperature, humidity and other information and serve PowerIQ power management software, summarized by the software, and then presented to managers to help managers to understand the basis of each equipment rack and IT Equipment power consumption. Moreover, the software also statistical trend analysis of data for management decision-making reference. If the abnormal electrical equipment or equipment changes in the microenvironment will promptly notify the management of alarm in time, to the greatest extent to ensure equipment is always in health, to avoid unplanned downtime.
Dr. Xu Qingyi the data center's power management is divided into four stages, namely the connection (to ensure the reliability of the power supply), measurement (measuring electrical energy consumption), analysis (to find the reasons for the low efficiency of the power) and intelligent distribution (based on the demand realize the dynamic power allocation). He said that the power management is still in the connection and metering stages, in order to move towards more advanced stage of the analysis and intelligent distribution, intelligent power management is an essential means of data center managers.
