Avocent Corporation is introducing new power management software that enables users to monitor and measure the power consumption and energy usage of IT equipment in data centres in real time. DSView 3 Power Manager is an add-on “plug-in” to Avocent’s DSView 3 management software – installed in thousands of data centres worldwide – that provides secure, centralised management for physical and virtual IT assets.
DSView 3 Power Manager adds the ability to gather and aggregate power information, whether that be a power distribution unit, rack, or row of racks, to help data centre managers improve operating efficiencies, reduce outages, and reduce overall energy consumption costs.
“Customers are often limited in what energy consumption they can measure, which effectively makes these costs considered “uncontrollable”. As we broaden our infrastructure management footprint in the data centre we aim to bring greater granularity and control over power and cooling problems, allowing more accurate planning of IT infrastructure and budgets,” said Dave Perry, executive vice president and general manager of the Management Systems Business Unit at Avocent.
