Intel® DCM makes it easy for system management console vendors to add rack and group level power and thermal management features to their existing server manageability products.
Features and Benefits
Flexible data center hierarchy support |
- Supports management simultaneously at all levels of data center hierarchy
|
| |
Power and thermal data aggregation
and trending |
- Monitor node power and inlet temperature data in real time
- Aggregate power and inlet temperature data
- Stores trend data for up to 1 year
|
| |
Custom alerts |
- Receive alerts based on custom power and thermal events
- Automate event handling by defining policy based actions to change power threshold
|
| |
Intelligent group power capping |
- Supports multiple policies depending on user power threshold target or goal to minimize power consumption
- Maintains group power capping while dynamically adapting to changing server loads
- Accepts SLA priority as policy directive
- Automatically manage rack and group power consumption and safeguard from sudden power spikes
- Supports enhanced group power algorithm
|
| |
Configurable policies |
- Schedule power capping policies by time of day and manage to the specifics of your data center environment. This allows IT organizations to provision power to workloads dynamically based on need rather than one-time average or worst-case setting with low administration overhead
- Maintain multiple policies simultaneously
|
| |
Agent-less out-of-band management |
- Does not require installation of any software agents on managed nodes
|
| |
Easy integration and co-existence |
