Power Assure develops business automation software that dramatically reduces energy use and associated carbon emissions in commercial, corporate, and government data centers. The company's hosted software platform intelligently monitors and manages data center server capacity in real time, maintaining required service levels at optimum efficiency and lowest total cost.
Power Management Solution
Power Assure's Dynamic Power Management solution lowers data center energy costs by changing power costs from fixed to variable, allowing power use to fluctuate in concert with actual customer demand. As a result customers realize an average of 50% in power savings. Power Assure delivers rapid time-to-savings with easy implementation and minimal management requirements. Its Software as a Service (SaaS) solution can be implemented in as little as three to four weeks and offers a fully-integrated customer dashboard for easy management.
Power Assure offers better visibility into power usage with power monitoring software that tracks and reports both historical and real-time data about power consumption and application loads. This can also help advance a company's green initiatives by establishing energy baseline levels and providing a clear audit trail for common utility incentives and rebates.
Power Assure Energy Management Products
Power Monitoring Software. Power Assure's Power Monitoring Software module tracks power consumption and cooling requirements at a granular level, including utility feeds, generators, power distribution units, power meters, and environmental sensors. The monitoring software resides on the Power Assure P100 Energy Controller provided and serviced by Power Assure. Through an online upgrade, monitoring capabilities can be expanded to provide Dynamic Power Management (DPM).
Dynamic Power Management. Power Assure's Dynamic Power Management (DPM) software adjusts the number of servers operating in a data center in real time to optimize overall server utilization based on constantly changing application load. Our online database tracks key metrics for all of the assets in your data center, including power draw and service level requirements for your customers. The management software module continuously balances server supply with customer demand and service levels. The software can also adjust cooling systems (fan speed, water temperature, and water flow) to further reduce energy consumption.
