Unlock the true potential of your data center


Do you have actual, real-time information about power & cooling consumption in your data center, or do you rely on faceplate estimates?

Has over-provisioning power and cooling capacity left you with half-empty racks and enclosures?

Are rising energy costs forcing you to re-evaluate the way you manage energy in your data center?

HP power management with new Data Center Power Control and Dynamic Power Capping enables you to make the most of your existing data center by reclaiming trapped power and cooling capacity.

Part of the HP Thermal Logic Portfolio and delivered through Insight Control suite, HP power management, delivers three core capabilities: power measurement, power capping, and power regulation. Read on to learn how HP power management allows you to take control of valuable power and cooling resources in today’s data center. Click here to see a use-case scenario.

Power Measurement


Real-time, around-the-clock insight into actual power consumption gives you superior control over operational costs.
  • Monitor metered PDUs an extend the ability to measure power consumption for heterogeneous environments.
  • Display graphs of up to 3 years of peak and average power consumption and server temperature data for ProLiant servers and BladeSystem enclosures.
  • Leverage power measurement history to set realistic Dynamic Power Caps
  • Understand the cost of powering and cooling servers, and export data to other reporting tools.
  • Compare power budgets from facilities against actual power usage numbers

Dynamic Power Capping


Dynamic Power Capping allows you to reclaim trapped power and cooling capacity by safely limiting server power consumption. You can up to triple the capacity of your existing data center. Read the TCO white paper to learn how.
  • Safely limit power usage without impacting performance by capping peak instead of average power usage.
  • Remove risk to electrical infrastructure with fast-acting, hardware-based capping algorithm.
  • Reclaim more power with blades by dynamically controlling power limits based on workload demand.
Learn more about how to take advantage of Dynamic Power Capping.

Power Regulation


Conserve power without performance impact with power regulator technology that’s built into the server.
  • Automatically adjust processor power states (p-states) in accordance with workload requirements.
  • Make use of full processor performance when needed and conserve power for less demanding workloads.
  • Supports any operating system qualified on HP ProLiant servers.


Data Center Power Control


Reduce energy costs and take control of power and cooling during catastrophic events

  • Set pre-defined rules to handle power and cooling rules.
  • Rules act selectively on systems based on attributes and relationships to gracefully shutdown the OS or change iLO power regulator state.
  • Take control over your energy usage and power down non-essential servers during peak hours.


 

"Figuring out how much power a server needs to run efficiently is sometimes trial and error. Now with HP Thermal Logic, including Dynamic Power Capping, we can actually measure how much power is needed and have more control over how much energy is actually used. Bottom line...it lets us get more out of IT."

- Bob Longo, Director of Sales and Business Development, ClearPointe Inc.

"Being able to adjust my power levels on the fly is a pretty heavy consideration for rock bands and IT departments. With HP Thermal Logic and new Dynamic Power Capping, I know that I’m always right in tune with my customers’ needs.”

- David Montoya, Senior Director of IT, Hard Rock Park USA

"I admit it...I have a control issue and I want more of it in the data center. HP Thermal Logic, with its Dynamic Power Capping, lets me manage the power we need to run the technology that runs our business better than ever. It feels good to know what's going on around here."

- CTO Eric Hulbert, opus: interactive
