GPA-SPM (Server Power management) provides overtime analysis for server environments.
It enables the IT executives to make decisions on the relevancy of maintaining FULL POWER mode on Servers not really used.
The product and method works with three steps:
- Analysis of Server activity (load, application, active connections etc..) to build a 'Dynamic Usage Profile'
- Mapping of the WASTED power deducted from the Analysis
- Proposing and applying new power schemes on the server based on activity and timeframe without impacting the server availability.
GPA-SPM provides IT with easy access to report on energy consumption, cost, efficiency and CO2 emissions.
It also ensures ongoing management directly linked to Server usage evolution and shows the savings realized overtime.
To some extent, GPA-SPM, while introducing a new Power policy for server, could also help in reducing the server number and save even more than on the power bill. |
