Intel Data Center Manager v2.1 Key Features

MONITORING• Real-time monitoring of actual power and

inlet temp data* aggregated to rack, row,room and user-defined logical groups

CONTROL

• Supports multiple activepower policy types,schedule by time of day

• Co-existing policies atmultiple hierarchy levels

e.g., row, rack, group.Policy accepts SLApriority as directive

TRENDING

• Log power and thermaldata, query trend datausing filters

• Saves 1 year of historydata for capacity

planning

DCM Value Drivers – DC’s# Value Driver Actual Estimated

1. Measure energy usage by device: Provides clients ability tobaseline, monitor, analyze and manage energy consumptionacross the enterprise (a factor towards refresh)

100% Accurate Not always accurate

2. Assists power capacity planning by providing actual data onenergy consumption (increase rack density) – real time dataavailable

Accurate all the way to device levelso can drive better capacityplanning

Not always accurate

3. Proactively Identify Failure situations by monitoring eventsaround Power and Thermal (hot spots, CRAH failures)

Need real time monitoring No real time monitoring

4. Energy Efficiency: Improve thermal profile of DC (avoidovercooling and undercooling of DC)

Real time thermal monitoring No thermal estimations

5. Identify dead servers: Servers that are consuming power butrunning no workloads

Real time power monitroing Can be driven if monitoring CPUutilization

6. Power optimization/control Real time connection and control Not possible

7. On demand comute availability (integrate CPU, MEM data – idsleep state and bring up as CPU increases)

LOAD ADAPTIVE SCHEDULING

New capability Not possible with estimation
