Monitoring and Alerting Systems
Packet Power

More servers. More power per server. More costly power. This “perfect storm” has made energy management a major challenge for IT executives. Yet you can only manage what you can measure. Packet Power gives you the information you need to lower electrical costs and extend the life of your data center.

The Packet Power system works in any size facility, from a remote closet to a data center holding tens of thousands of devices, and easily supports multiple facilities. Energy usage information can be viewed in a variety of ways, including by application, line of business, customer or technology platform. By placing “facilities” information in a business context, Packet Power gives insight into whatis driving growth in energy consumption so you can focus your energy management efforts on the greatest opportunities for conservation and accurately predict your future power needs.
