DSView 3 Power Manager is an add-on "plug-in" to Avocent's DSView 3 management software - installed in thousands of data centers worldwide - that provides secure, centralized management for physical and virtual IT assets. DSView 3 Power Manager adds the ability to gather and aggregate power information, whether that be a power distribution unit, rack, or row of racks, to help data center managers improve operating efficiencies, reduce outages, and reduce overall energy consumption costs.
Avocent's DSView 3 Power Manager is uniquely able to provide energy consumption level data for a consolidated view of energy use within the data center. It aggregates electrical usage by kilowatt and converts it into kilowatt hours - how companies are charged for electricity. Through the software's cost calculator, users can enter their utility charges to calculate power costs making it possible for IT departments to monitor and chargeback power usage costs.
