MetricWise is a cost effective, easily deployed, Web based appliance that collects metered information to calculate Power Utilization Effectiveness (PUE) and Data Center Infrastructure Efficiency (DCiE). With MetricWise, gathering these important benchmarks is simple. Attach up to 10 meters at key power locations in the datacenter and MetricWise does the rest.
The Web interface is simple, but powerful. The system dashboard displays dynamic gauges, charts, and graphs to help baseline, improve, and measure outcomes of various greening efforts. Two years of historical data can be viewed and exported to provide trends of PUE and DCiE over time. MetricWise supports SNMP for communications to building management systems.
MetricWise solves problems associated with estimating and determining PUE based on nameplate data. The interface provides real-time measurements and gives users a way to easily identify the impact of changes of equipment and processes toward power reduction and becoming more efficient in power usage.
