For data center and lab managers who are concerned about the utilization and cost of power, Power IQ enables you to reduce capital and operating expenditures by providing the information and controls you need to be more energy efficient and fully utilize your existing power infrastructure.

Through one Web browser, the scalable Power IQ manages any SNMP-metered device. You have the ability to add new devices on your own. Support is preinstalled and tested for APC® , Avocent® , BayTech®, Cyber Switching®, Cyclades®, Eaton, Geist, HP®, Knurr®, Liebert, MRV ®, NetBotz, Raritan, Rittal®, Server Technology®, Sinetica, Starline Track Busway, Tripp Lite and UNITE™ devices.

Power IQ® Energy Management Software provides vendor agnostic centralized monitoring, agentless graceful OS shutdown, outlet control, powerful thermal and energy analytics of your active power, costs, line capacities, carbon footprint and rack temperature. Trending reports and cumulative totals can be displayed at the data center, floor, room, rack, customer and IT device level. You can generate customer energy billback cost reports in local currency with one click. Through one Web browser, the scalable Power IQ manages rack PDU’s from most vendors including our award-winning intelligent PDU’s from the Dominion PX series.

Devices equal a monitored IP address. For example, a single Dominion PX equals one device or a single APC PDU equals one device. Because environmental probes do not need IP addresses, they would not be considered devices.

Power IQ helps you become more effective in power capacity management and efficient in energy consumption by providing:
  • User configurable dashboard
  • Agentless graceful shutdown of Windows®, Linux® and Unix® device groups
  • Psychrometric chart to calculate possible energy savings from simply increasing temperature
  • Energy cost bill-back reports to drive behavior
  • Decommission flags to forecast energy savings when eliminating servers
  • Baseline consumption and changes of various energy saving initiatives
  • Capture peak loads under compute stess to identify excess power capacity in the rack
  • Power capacity forecast charts
  • Power capacity utilization gauges

Security is ensured with standards-based authentication, Web session timeout and IP-based access control.

Simplifies PX configuration and firmware management.

The system is open database compliant (ODBC) and includes a web service API for easy intergration with your enterprise management sysems and scripts.

  • Agentless graceful operating system shutdown

Power and Environmental Data Aggregation
  • User-configurable collection intervals ensure desired accuracy while minimizing network traffic
  • Aggregate active power, current, temperature and humidity data

Reporting and Charts
  • Energy, cost and carbon consumption reports keep customers and/or internal departments informed
  • Chargeback reports
  • Exception reports help you find stranded power capacity
  • Trending and status reports help you easily see future capacity needs
  • Thermal analysis – temperature and humidity compliance reports
  • Power capacity meter will provide you with forecasted “days of energy supply”

Open Data Model
  • Automatically shares information about racks, PDUs and outlets with dcTrack®. dcTrack displays rack PDU and sensor data collected by Power IQ
  • Web Service API – for easy integration with your systems and custom programs
  • Open database connectivity capabilities let you use your existing data warehouse and reporting system to generate custom reports
  • Import and export data via CSV file
