New technologies and unprecedented business demands over the last decade have left IT and facilities professionals struggling to balance efficiency and uptime. Increased computing demand and energy costs with contracting IT budgets have only compounded these issues, putting both legacy and newly built data centres under immense pressure to deliver on IT capacity.
This pressure brings about major operational management challenges, specifically power and energy management. Power is an essential and increasingly precious commodity for any data centre or enterprise and achieving the right balance for running and cooling IT operations can be a major headache.
Over-provisioning means waste and unnecessary expenditure but too little can increase risk of unplanned downtime and jeopardise the resilience of the entire data centre. Added to this dilemma, Data Centre Infrastructure Management (DCIM) providers have to date delivered only broad and unfocused systems and deployments, which often lack a structured development path.
Panduit® SmartZone™ Power Solutions enable comprehensive energy and physical infrastructure efficiency in data centres, facilities and enterprise spaces which focuses visibility of power, space and environmental information that is accurate and actionable for operational optimization.
An essential and practical step towards effective power management is through the deployment of real-time monitoring and data collection solutions capable of generating accurate and actionable information on critical areas of power and energy performance.
The goal of these solutions is to quickly provide IT and facilities professionals with a clearer understanding of actual utilisation and capacity, resulting in optimised operational efficiencies, reduced operational expenses (OpEx), and increased resiliency of facilities in support of Service Level Agreements (SLAs).
A Total End-to-End Power Monitoring Solution
Panduit SmartZone™ Solutions comprise a powerful, centralised, and granular reporting software suite combined with an extensive range of intelligent, fully integrated power monitoring hardware devices. Together these solutions provide the information necessary to regain and maintain control of power, cooling, and capacity in your data centres, facility domains and extended enterprises.
