Why Manage Power?

Managing Power in the data centre is about more then saving money. An effective power and environmental management system will help you maintain uptime and provide you with more control while reducing your workload.

The first step is to monitor power consumption as accurately as you can. This can be done at the branch circuit level, at the rack level or at the PDU outlet level.

Once you have accurate meters with network connectivity you will need to collect, store and report on the metered data. There a number of ways you can achieve this; your IT team may provide existing tools or you may want to use additional software. By adding temperature, humidity and other environmental sensors you can build a complete real time data base and provide dashboards and reports.

However you choose to monitor data centre power AIT has a solution for you.
