• 3-phase load balancing
  Automatically distribute and track single and three-phase equipment power draw, ensuring all three phases on the power system carry a balanced load.
• Power dependency path
  Map the power path and physical system relationships and dependencies.
• Design analysis
  Model the effects of proposed changes and compare alternative layouts through detailed design analysis.
• Airflow analysis
  Simulate cooling scenarios in your data center, instantly visualizing the cooling effect on your infrastructure.
• Capacity reports
  Shows planned and actual power data in one view, enabling detailed planning of future power needs.
• Floor and rack load weighting
  Factors floor and rack weight limits when placing new IT equipment
• Power and network port count
  Recommends best location to install new IT equipment based on power and network port availability

Availability

• Available Capacity
  Understand available capacity by calculating actual space, power and cooling consumption against data center architecture constraints.
• Energy cost management
  Enables accurate cost analysis of energy use on a kW/h basis, detailed to the rack level
• Graphical power gauge
  Provide visibility to planned and real-time data through graphics which outline available capacities.
• Measured power data
  Prevent overloads through visibility to average and peak power usage by measuring actual consumption through metered rack PDUs.
• Capacity policies
  Specify architecture capabilities to match IT equipment with availability needs and avoid stranded space, power and cooling capacity.
• Keyword tagging
  Highlight location constraints through keyword tagging of data center racks or equipment.
• Electrical room support
  Monitor capacity and plan changes for centralized power equipment in areas outside of the main data center floor plan.
