7 Optimizing server power consumption and cooling
This chapter provides an overview of Insight Control power management features to manage server power
consumption.
Power management overview
Insight Control power management is an integrated power monitoring and management application that
provides centralized monitoring and control of data center power consumption and thermal output.
Power management features enable you to increase the capacity of your data center by reducing power
and cooling requirements of servers to an amount that reflects the workload of the servers.
Table 7-1 “Launching power management features”
lists the power management features and how to access
