3.2 Top Energy Consumers
Energy consumption is directly proportionate to power consumption. The higher the energy consumed, higher
is the power consumed. In Power Manager, details about the top five energy consuming devices and groups
are displayed. This data is available on Home page of OpenManage Enterprise, under the Power Manager
widget. Use this list to identify the devices and groups that are consuming the highest power in a data center.
You can then analyze these devices and groups to identify if there is a possibility of reducing the power
consumption without compromising on the performance and functionality of the devices. Then, you can apply
a power policy to cap the power being consumed by the devices.
