OpenManage Enterprise Power Manager
OpenManage Enterprise Power Manager is a plug-in for OpenManage Enterprise V3.2 and later. Power Manager provides power
and thermal monitoring and management at a one to many levels. The features of Power Manager are:
● Measure and manage power consumption and monitors thermal readings—OME Power Manager provides greater
insight into a data center's energy usage through detailed measurement of energy consumption throughout a data center.
Power Manager gives administrators the ability to measure and manage the power consumption of up to 6,000 servers and
track both short-term and long-term historical data.
● Create and implement multiple usage policies—Power Manager simplifies implementation of power policies across a
data center. When it is used with the 12th generation or later versions of the PowerEdge servers, OpenManage Enterprise
Advanced license and an iDRAC Enterprise license, administrators can control power consumption to each row, rack, or
group of PE servers. In addition, administrators can create reports on energy usage and thermal readings on a group-by-
group basis.
● Reduce consumption during low-load hours—Power Manager helps administrators to save power by allowing
management of a server room according to business needs. Power Manager allows administrators to implement policies that
reduce the power consumption when the demand on the systems is lower. It can also assign maximum power to the servers
that run the most important applications.
