Power Assure Unveils Onsite PAR4 Measurement Service
Power Assure, Inc. has releaed the PAR4 Measurement Service designed to measure the true idle and peak power consumption of IT equipment in a rack or an entire data center in order to maximize IT power and space constraints, freeing-up stranded power and increasing IT capacity.
Increasing demand for new applications is causing data centers to run out of power, even when the racks or rooms are half-full. Data centers are typically provisioned based on the power consumption figures provided by the vendor on the server nameplate label. These figures are designed to be conservative and overstated, leaving much-needed power stranded throughout the data center rather than being put to productive use.
