As a member of the IT team, you have bigger things to worry about than power. Yet power capacity is the biggest external risk to your IT systems and their uptime today. VM servers and blade systems are consuming more power with each generation and, every time you blindly plug-in to a power strip, you move closer to uptime failure.

Power Consumption at the hardware level has gone up without question, leading to data center systems that consume resources at an alarming rate. There are as many as 10 metrics necessary to understand capacity from the PDU level to the IT hardware and, mismanaged, every component has the ability to limit support for new projects. PDU (kW & phase amps), Branch Panel Mains (kW & Phase Amps, # Poles), Branch Circuit (kW & Phase Amps), Rack Power Strip Breakers ( kW & Phase Amps), Rack power strips (Outlet kW)

NORLINX Global Site Management (GSM™) protects your IT power supply chain from PDU to IT hardware. Tracking resources in a complete intelligent management solution with real-time results, as well as historical knowledge, GSM™ allows you to see where you are, how you got there, and design where you're going next.

GSMair+space provides solutions for managing cabinet footprints within the data center. Cabinet top metrics help you understand power and cooling limits while managing your data center layout with drag and drop templates that automatically correlate to your GSMpower infrastructure. Track perforated tile placement and evaluate how it impacts cooling at the rack level. With real time visual temperature information, you no longer need to pay for expensive CFD analysis that becomes obsolete as soon as it's complete.
