6 Using OpenManage Enterprise Power Manager for Chargeback
1 Introduction
Power Manager is a plugin to Dell EMC OpenManage Enterprise console and uses fine-grained
instrumentation to provide increased visibility over power consumption, anomalies, and utilization. Also,
Power Manager alerts and reports on power and thermal events with servers, chassis, and groups consisting
of servers and chassis. This enables increased control, faster response times, greater accuracy, and broader
decision-making intelligence than would otherwise be possible.
This technical white paper summarizes the Power Manager 1.2 usage for determining the power consumption
and power costs for a datacenter by using the built-in reports or the custom reports available in Power
Manager. Also, this paper explains how to use this data to infer cost cutting and move towards a green
datacenter along with Power Budgeting Optimization.
