The Raritan Power IQ energy management software automates secure, time-based power control and enables powerful analytics reporting of energy cost, temperature, active power, line capacity and carbon footprint. It enables managers to improve data center availability, enhance power capacity planning and improve energy efficiency.
Trending reports and cumulative totals can be displayed at the data center, floor, room, rack, customer and IT device level. Customer energy billback cost reports can also be generated in your local currency with one click.
Power IQ manages Raritan's Dominion PX and third-party rack PDUs, including APC, Server Technology and more. The system is open database compliant (ODBC) and can be integrated with your current data warehouse and enterprise reporting system. It simplifies PX configuration and firmware management. Security is ensured with standards-based authentication, Web session timeout and IP-based access control.
