Power Assure White Papers
Reclaiming Hidden Capacity in Your Data Center What if you, as a facility or data center manager, suddenly discovered you had twice as much power or twice as much space in your data center as you thought you had? This white paper is divided into two sections that describe how to uncover and reclaim hidden capacity first in the data center facility itself, and second in the IT equipment. Each section explains the methodology used and identifies the typical sources of hidden capacity.
Combining PUE with Other Energy Efficiency Metrics Organizations in the public and private sectors alike are now paying very close attention to power consumption throughout their data centers. To support this growing need, the industry has created both the metrics and tools required to measure and manage power utilization effectively. This white paper, intended for both IT and facility managers, outlines the various rating systems available, and describes how each can be used to improve energy efficiency throughout any data center.
The Power to Succeed: Data Center Efficiency in the Federal Government Currently there are a number of Federal mandates affecting government data centers. This white paper addresses what agencies can do to comply with these measures, shows how Power Assure can help with this effort, and describes how NASA is implementing Power Assure solutions within 75 data centers to improve energy efficiency and shrink its data center footprint.
Data Center Power Optimization: Good, Better, Best Practices The days of taking power for granted in data centers have come to an end. Gartner estimates that electric bills now constitute 12% of the total cost of ownership for data centers. Following the good, better and best practices outlined here for managing power more effectively will reduce this expense in, while extending the life of, any data center. But you can’t manage what you can’t measure, and that requires a DCIM solution, preferably one with integrated monitoring, analytics, automation and optimization capabilities to achieve the best results. These tools empower IT and facility managers with the actionable information needed to make optimal choices about equipment, its placement and its use.
The Next Step: Dynamic Data Center Optimization This paper will begin with a discussion of the general monitoring and management requirements for a strong cyclical optimization tool and then will discuss the ideal capabilities of the dynamic automation platform.
