New Delhi : Raritan,a leading provider of data center infrastructure management (DCIM) and rack power distribution solutions, today announced that Raritan’s intelligent energy management solution help enterprises to reduce data center energy consumption by allowing organizations to safely increase ambient temperatures at the Data Center. It has been found that a Data Center Manager can save up to 3% of energy costs for every degree of upward change in the baseline temperature.  Additionally, Agent -less graceful shut downs and start ups of servers connected to any rack power distribution units (PDUs) enables energy saving by scheduling automatic power cycling of an “IT device group” when not needed.  For example, a Lab manager could save about 25 percent on energy consumption by turning off systems at 7 pm on Friday and turning them on at 5 am on Monday. Automatic tracking and a large screen energy dashboard helps to manage energy usage and pinpoint savings opportunities.

Raritan’s energy management solution offers valuable insight to help organizations to find savings in the data center. It also designed in a way to help IT and facilities managers with the following benefits-

Reduce capital expenditures and save on operating expenses

Generate energy cost reports for customers

Create a baseline and certify changes in energy and carbon footprint

Easily identify active power, energy, cost and environmental trends

Measure PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness) and drive green data center initiatives

Connecting PDUs with Raritan’s Power IQ® energy management software will help data centers and lab managers better understand environmental conditions at the rack in order to use power and cooling resources optimally without compromising performance. This makes it still easier for a data center operator to understand and better manage the following:
