- is a 100% software solution for energy usage monitoring (NO PDUs required).
Key Features
- Hardware Monitoring: Detect and even predict failures in processors, memory modules, disks, network cards, controllers, power supplies, fans, temperature sensors, etc.
- IT Energy Usage: Assess the power consumption of all monitored systems, even those which are not equipped with power sensors.
- Carbon Emissions: Accurately determine the carbon emissions of your data centers and observe their evolution over time to ensure you are on track with your commitments to sustainability.
- Data center temperature optimization: Accurately determine the maximum acceptable temperature of your server rooms and estimates the amount saved when this recommendation is followed.
