Today’s data centers must run 24/7 without fail and with the least energy consumed
possible. The personnel, therefore, must ensure the health of all critical assets by
acting promptly on important alarms—a difficult task as they are overwhelmed on a
daily basis with frequent notifications.
Being able to limit the number of alarms will improve the efficiency of monitoring
and tracking in the data center. Gaining real-time visibility into the energy
consumption and operating efficiencies within the data center will also allow
organizations to lower their operational costs and meet industry-approved efficiency
metrics.
A new way in overcoming these challenges is provided by the Trellis™ Site Manager
within the Trellis™ platform. Trellis™ Site Manager keeps systems running at peak
performance and ensures maximum use of time and resources. It tracks and
reports the health of facility-critical devices and provides information on power,
cooling and environmental conditions, such as temperature, humidity, airflow and
leak detection. Its customizable notification and threshold validation functions
allow users to focus on active alarms that need to be attended to immediately,
enabling the effective and efficient use of support personnel. It presents
device-level data and trends and provides detailed insight into the status and
environmental conditions of the data center.
The Trellis™ Site Manager is also the perfect tool to see the data center’s power
usage effectiveness (PUE) and data center infrastructure efficiency (DCIE), allowing
the organization to adhere to industry standards set by The Green Grid and the like.
The unified and practical dashboard allows managers to view current and historical
efficiency metrics as well as calculate both consumption and costs—a feature
perfect for data centers that are not yet properly instrumented for measuring
facility and IT load. IT managers are able to use the information gathered to
maximize energy usage, minimize energy waste and reduce utility costs.
With Trellis
TM
Site Manager, you can:
• Collect and analyze real-time data for monitoring business-critical
infrastructure, environmental conditions and power consumption
• Send alarm notifications via SNMP, SMS or email and based on personnel shifts
• Configure and manage alarm significance so important ones are addressed first
• View facility layout and actual asset utilization
• Comply with industry-approved efficiency metrics (PUE and DCIE)
• Calculate utility cost—not just consumption—at the system and unit levels
• Customize the dashboard to exclude certain facility load parts in a mixed-use
facility
• Determine current and future energy needs based on historical data
Benefits
• Ensure business-critical
continuity with comprehensive
event management and alarm
notifications

time energy consumption (kW/
hours) and cost of operating
subsystems; even exempt
certain parts in calculating for
a mixed-use facility
• Improve performance
efficiency and reduce risk
of unplanned downtime by
knowing the current and
future energy needs of the
data center based on historical
data
• View PUE and DCIE to ensure
compliance with efficiency
metrics by The Green Grid and
the like
• Promote efficient and effective
use of support personnel,
including site engineers and
technicians, by sending them
in—only when necessary
• Reduce time spent sorting
through inbox messages with
an intelligent summary of
priority issues
• Highlight issues that need
immediate attention and
provide real-time, meaningful
information that addresses the
needs of senior management
