Raritan Unveils Power Mgmt Software For DCs

Raritan, a provider of datacentre infrastructure management (DCIM) and rack power distribution solutions, has announced that its Power IQ DCIM software for power management helps organisation to completely monitor the power distribution in datacentres and helps in further maximising the uptime and availability of power. The Raritan’s power management software gives 360 degree bird eye view of power chain in the datacentre. It helps in validating the thresholds settings, and also get alerts and notifications in time to the datacentre manager and help them to take the necessary actions before it becomes an issue or it is impacted on users.

Raritan’s Power IQ DCIM software for Power Management gives the overall picture on how much power is consumed at a moment’s notice, down to individual servers when coupled with Raritan’s PX intelligent Rack PDUs with individual outlet metering. With an intuitive simple to configure dashboard, the organisation can see power utilisation trends and capacity across the power chain, find stranded power, and improve datacentre uptime with thresholds and alerts.

Sanjay Motwani, Sales Director - India & SEA said, “Power resources are increasingly constrained and the cost of energy is spiraling out of control. The organisations need to know how much power they are using, how much is available and where they can improve efficiency. As budgets are decreasing, having a tool to help answer these questions will address the power concerns and thereby help in planning power usage in a more controlled and effective manner, as power is very critical.”

Datacentres are often over-provisioned and excess capacity typically exists in them. With DCIM tools, the organisations can find the stranded capacity, use it with confidence, and delay spending millions to build their next datacentre. Datacentres and IT labs everywhere are approaching operational capacity limits as the cost involved in managing the power usage is worrying them big time. By knowing the real time and trended power consumption at every point in datacentre power chain is becoming a need for the organisations growth.
