The Avocent DSView® 3 Power Manager software adds power monitoring capability to the access and control functions of DSView 3 software.
The addition of Power Manager gives companies the ability to monitor and measure IT energy consumption, and determine costs and trends across all levels within their data centers and remote locations.
Information gathered from supported power devices, such as the Avocent PM PDUs, can be used to generate historical graphs and reports. With that data, IT administrators and managers can consider overall cost and capacity across individual PDUs, racks, rows of racks or entire data centers.
Measure and Track Power Costs – The DSView 3 Power Manager calculates and compares cost across multiple levels (rack, row, data centers or companies) to track cost over a period of time and also to measure the impact of any consolidation or expansion projects.
Review Historical Capacity and Consumption Reports – Plan for future expansion or new facilities more accurately based on real historical data rather than faceplate ratings or best-guess scenarios which result in overbuilding and lead to inefficiencies
Protect Against Downtime – Help get a total reading on power usage for the data center and set a maximum threshold of power usage. Set alerts to know when the threshold is reached or exceeded and allow time to make changes before there are actual problems
Accurately Plan – Help IT know what electrical infrastructure to build into a new location or disaster recovery site. The design can be based on actual historical data rather than faceplate ratings or best-guess scenarios which result in overbuilding and lead to hard-to-correct inefficiencies.
