Power Assure EM/4
Quickly visualize and identify inefficiencies in a comprehensive way
Improve Data Center Efficiency, Capacity and Performance
Power Assure EM/4 software is the only secure, cloud-based platform to offer integrated monitoring, analysis, and automation of data center information and processes.
Data center managers can now collect, synthesize and analyze the overwhelming amount of raw data available from facilities and IT equipment and turn it into useful business information for making decisions in real time about improving the efficiency, capacity and performance of their data centers. Power Assure EM/4 delivers innovative data center analytics to help managers quickly visualize and identify inefficiencies in a comprehensive way.
Power Assure EM/4 Status Radar screen displays key facility and IT metrics for a complete picture of your data center.
EM/4 Features
- Cloud-based, integrated, modular platform that is flexible, "future-proof" and secure
- Views one or many data centers on a "single pane of glass"
- Synthesizes data from all sources within the data center to provide analysis at any level of detail
- Automates existing processes, allowing you to take action based on environmental changes or other trigger events in order to optimize performance, reliability and service levels
- Taps into Power Assure's Global Energy Intelligence™ database to allow comparisons with industry averages and "best in class" data center performance
Powerful, Flexible, Secure Platform for Data Center Energy Management
Power Assure EM/4 is a cloud- based, secure, integrated, robust, highly scalable and highly secure Data Center Infrastructure Management platform.
Users can mix and match various modules, starting with the functionality they need near term and adding additional modules as needs arise allowing them to invest in a single platform to meet all of their data center infrastructure management needs now and in the future. Power Assure's solution is delivered through a secure cloud service, resulting in dramatically lower start-up costs and faster installations.
Monitoring Modules: Extract Data from Every Available Source
Capture and integrate real-time data from your facilities equipment, ITdevices, building management systems, inventory management systems, change management systems, capacity planning systems, network management systems, power monitoring systems, and server/application management systems. Using interfaces including SNMP, IPMI, ILO, Intel DCMI, Cisco UCS XML, MODBUS, BACNET, ABB 800XA XML, and various web services and APIs, EM/4 captures and integrates all of the data in your data center in an easy-to-view dashboard.
Analytics Modules: Turn Facilities and IT Data into Useful Business Information
Power Assure EM/4 mines relevant real-time data and integrates it into a single database of useful information to quickly visualize usage patterns, identify areas of inefficiencies in a comprehensive way and model your data center to determine optimal improvements. For example, extensive modeling and what-if capabilities let data center managers assess the impact of a hardware refresh on the total capacity of their data centers. By combining the modeling of a hardware refresh with cooling upgrades, capacity adjustments, or consolidation options, data center managers can maximize available power and space, thus extending the useful life of the data center.
Automation Modules: Runbook Solutions
The EM/4 Automation Modules provide solutions that increase process reliability, decrease energy consumption, track usage patterns accurately and provide planned responses to both expected and unexpected events. Modules include:
- Business Continuity Management
- Chargeback and usage-based invoicing
- Event Handling
