The document discusses the capabilities of StruxureWare for Data Centers software. The software allows users to: 1) optimize data center operations by simulating the impact of changes and failures on capacity and identifying excess capacity; 2) conserve energy by monitoring and reporting on energy usage and costs in real-time and generating performance metrics; and 3) manage the data center by tracking inventory, linking costs to business units, and integrating infrastructure information.

1. Optimize
Visually display the impact of pending moves
and changes on power capacity and cooling
distribution.
Simulate the consequences of power and cooling
device failure on IT equipment for identification of
critical business application impacts.
Identify excess capacity and indicate which
devices can either be decommissioned or
used elsewhere.
Maximize reliability and uptime by monitoring,
analyzing and improving power quality.

Conserve
Collect, analyze, and report on your energy cost
and consumption at the macro or micro level.
Generate dozens of relevant key performance
metrics — like power usage effectiveness (PUE)
— in real time from across the IT and facility
infrastructure.
Provide graphical representations of electrical,
mechanical, and IT equipment to ensure
comprehensive and intuitive usability.
Generate reports to summarize power quality,
capacity limitations, generator test results,
equipment inventories, and many others.

for Data Centers software!
Manage
Provide energy use details that enable the linking of
operating costs to each business-unit user-group,
thereby allowing for charge backs.
Track adds, moves, and changes for a real-time
representation of inventory and assets.
Integrate power, cooling, rack, and other physical
infrastructure information directly with a VM
manager to ensure that the virtual servers are
supported by “healthy” physical hosts.
