Dell OpenManage Enterprise Power Manager

Dell Technologies support for server power management

Server power management is a key component of Dell PowerEdge servers. Server power management includes:

  • Measure power usage, carbon emissions, and thermal health
  • Mitigate risks from power and cooling events
  • Utilize capacity
  • Set policy-based controls

Dell Technologies enhances your visibility into server power consumption and control utilization through the console’s integration with the integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) embedded in Dell PowerEdge servers. OpenManage Enterprise Power Manager is the next generation of server power management. Power Manager lets you view, measure, and control server power consumption and increase your infrastructure’s performance. As an extension to Dell OpenManage Enterprise, this extension is a vital piece of the OpenManage portfolio and provides integration.

OpenManage Enterprise Power Manager replaces OpenManage Power Center. OMPC no longer has additional functionality added.
