Energy costs have become the top expense in datacenters, before human resources. Learn how BMC Performance Manager provides unmatched visibility on the electricity consumption of your IT and what you can do about it.
- #1 Expense in some server rooms is now power consumption, ahead of human resources
- Energy Consumption in the Data Center has doubled between 2001-2006
- The Average Energy Cost of a blade chassis with 12 blade servers is between $4,000 and $10,000 a year
- A recent IDC study estimates that the expense to power and cool the worldwide installed base of servers will grow to $44.5 billion, equivalent to 70 percent of new server spending, by 2010
- E.P.A. says it costs $4.5 billion a year for the electricity to run the United States’ server farms
BMC Performance Manager monitors the power consumption of IT equipment in the server room, enabling you to gain control of energy costs including:
- Diagnosing: Identify power-hungry devices (servers, switches, disk arrays, etc.) as candidates for virtualization or replacement
- Capacity planning: Budget future energy expenses
- Reporting: Recover the energy costs from the application or server owners
Join BMC Software to learn how you can identify and lower your energy costs in the data center.
