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.
Measure energy consumed by IT equipment at a server, rack, row, or room level
Mitigate risk by reducing power consumption per predefined policies that maximize the uptime of business-critical applications by reducing noncritical consumption
Increase data center density by identifying racks with equipment not using the power capacity that has been wired into it
View CO2 emissions report as it relates to PowerEdge server usage
Identify idle servers to repurpose or remove
Reports containing CPU usage and power consumption that can be used for:
Chargeback
Workload balancing based on power consumption
Identifying rack space for server installations
Power policies to automatically set power caps for an individual server or groups of servers
Policies to automatically take corrective action when temperatures are too high
