Lenovo XClarity Energy Manager

Lenovo XClarity Energy Manager provides a stand-alone, web-based agent-less power management
console that provides real time data and enables you to observe, plan and manage power and cooling for
Lenovo servers. Using built-in intelligence, it identifies server power consumption trends and ideal power
settings and performs cooling analysis so that you can define and optimize power-saving policies.
Lenovo XClarity Energy Manager offers the following capabilities:
Monitors room, row, rack, and device levels in the data center
Reports vital server information, such as power, temperature and resource utilization
Monitors inlet temperature to locate hot spots, reducing the risk of data or device damage
Provides finely-grained controls to limit platform power in compliance with IT policy
Generates alerts when a user-defined threshold is reached
Lenovo XClarity Energy Manager is an optional software component for the SR550 server that is licensed
on a per managed node basis, that is, each managed server requires a license. The 1-node Energy
Manager license is included in the XClarity Controller Enterprise upgrade.
