IBM has unveiled new tools to help monitor the power consumption of its latest x86 servers, to cater the growing trend of energy-efficient computing. It helps automate the management of power consumption in the datacenter to improve power utilisation and reduce energy costs, the company said.
Part of this innovation is the introduction of a new line of IBM System x servers based on the next generation of IBM’s Xtended Design Architecture (XDA), enabling up to 90 percent better application performance, and up to 163 percent better performance per watt.
PowerExecutive, an extension to IBM Director systems management software, allows clients to “meter” actual power usage and trend data for any single physical system or group of systems. PowerExecutive version 2, due later this year, will also enable IT staff to set limits on server power consumption.
