Data center power consumption continues to rise. And as such, the cost for electricity to power and cool equipment is shooting through the roof. With the worsening economic climate, there is great interest in reining in these costs. Increasingly, organizations are turning to intelligent power management systems that allocate electricity dynamically to save money and reduce waste. These systems collect real-time information about data center equipment power consumption, utilization rates, and temperatures. Having this information, managers can then optimize the use of electricity and cut their power costs.
