DATA CENTRE POWER MANAGEMENT |
DATA CENTRE COSTS |
FLOOR SPACE |
Viridity EnergyCenter measures power consumption at the device level using an unobtrusive software-only approach that is both quick to deploy and quick with results. With EnergyCenter, data centres are able to run a discovery and locate all networked equipment in hours instead of weeks |
With Viridity EnergyCenter software, you are able to identify "stranded capacity" and avoid prematurely building out a new, multimillion dollar data centre. You can remove costly margins associated with the derating method and instead, use actual power consumption for your planning purposes. EnergyCenter's under utilised server module provides analysis and reports that help you to recover additional power because you can instantly identify the servers with the lowest utilisation that are still drawing power. By using the actionable information generated by Viridity EnergyCenter, you can retire, consolidate, or virtualise under-utilised servers in order to free up power and defer the need for an expensive data centre expansion. |
Viridity EnergyCenter software quickly identifies under-utilised servers that are consolidation candidates. Once they are addressed, additional data centre space is freed up. EnergyCenter is a software-only solution that doesn't require additional hardware or agents, so it can be installed quickly and it is non-intrusive to the environment. There is no need to disrupt the daily operation of the data centre in order to fully utilise the benefits of EnergyCenter. |
TECH REFRESH |
GREEN DATA CENTRE INITIATIVE |
VIDEOS |
By tracking the age, type, and energy efficiency of your equipment, you can replace the old equipment at the optimum time to reap the maximum benefits. These benefits include reducing the amount of power required to run your applications and bringing in newer equipment with higher performance and reliability. Bringing in new equipment allows you to scale up for the increasing IT demands. Viridity recommends creating a list of the top power consuming IT assets - servers in particular - in your data centre and evaluating their power efficiency. By starting with the largest and most inefficient power consumers, you maximise the ROI of your refresh project. This is difficult to establish by hand, so Viridity EnergyCenter provides an automated a list of the top power consumers in the data centre and their corresponding utilisation |
As the cost of power rises, it is often more efficient and economical to replace old servers with newer equipment. In situations where the extra cost of powering the old equipment costs more than the expense of purchasing the new equipment, this becomes a quick win. Viridity recommends identifying the top power consumers in your data centre and evaluating their efficiency. By upgrading the biggest, most inefficient power hogs first, you maximise your return on investment. With EnergyCenter, you can can automatically generate a report with actionable information. By monitoring your equipment over time, you can select the best candidates for refresh. |
