Dell OpenManage Power Center v1.2
Dell OpenManage Power Center provides aggregated power measurement and capping at a rack, row, and room level
enabling customers to increase their server density by capping power at a rack level and mitigate risk from power and
thermal events by invoking customer pre-defined policies that let essential applications continue longer while cutting
back on the power used by lesser priority applications such as file and print servers. The Dell OpenManage Power
Center is an open, standards-based power management application that can read power usage information from
PowerEdge yx1x and yx2x servers, Power Distribution Units (PDUs), Uninterruptable Power Supplies (UPS), and the
M1000e blade server chassis. It controls power consumption at the rack level, the row level, and the room level to
improve power efficiency, cut total power usage, and provides better intelligence for decision making. With the latest
release of Dell OpenManage Power Center we are adding Linux support and LDAP authentication, supporting Windows
8 and Windows servers 2012. We have increased the number of supported nodes from 2000 to 4000.
