High usage of power, with power-related costs accounting up to 40% of operating expenses in multi-tenant data centers, makes data center energy efficiency a top priority. GFS Crane DCIM software has the unique capability of measuring power consumed by servers, UPS, and network devices without installing energy meters. Besides this soft metering with over 95% accuracy, it also supports hardware-based power metering for both IT and Facility assets by integrating with iPDUs and BMS.The DCIM software identifies top power consumers in your data center and reports trends for peak and lean time. What helps in making the data center energy efficient is that the DCIM software measures the real-time Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) of the data center and identifies power distribution losses.It reports power consumed by non-production applications, legacy applications, under-utilized servers and old equipment and recommends ways to reduce total power requirement for the data centers, lowering operating expenses. By measuring multi-level PUE for the data center as per Green Grid recommendations, GFS Crane DCIM software makes the decision to implement sustainable energy efficiency solutions in the data center easier
