safeguarding uptime and improving energy efficiency
In the complex environment of a data centre, downtime spells disaster. Reliability of service is paramount. Managing the data centre’s intensive energy use, and the associated running costs and carbon emissions, is a further key concern.
Synapsys has developed the SIPp power monitoring solution to provide the accurate, real-time performance data that can flag up an increase in power consumption – before it becomes a problem.
Suitable for all types of data centre applications, the range includes options for:
- DC power monitoring
- AC power monitoring
- Branch circuit monitoring
The hardware-based system straightforward to install without any downtime, simply clipping into place. Each SIPp can monitor up to 72 individual power circuits using micro CTs (current transformers); an 84 standard US system is also available.
SIPp can easily connect to and monitor power for:
- Rack meters
- Intelligent rack PDUs
- Telecoms DC power cables
- Power distribution units
Installing SIPp devices to all power circuits creates an effective, fully comprehensive monitoring solution to keep control of all power requirements in the data centre.
The system is easily scalable; if requirements increase, more SIPps can be added. It’s that simple.
SIPp provides easy-to-read yet detailed data on actual usage down to rack level in a user-friendly ‘dashboard’ display. It’s easy to customise the information feeds featured on the dashboard, meaning minimal training for both non-technical personnel and engineers.
In addition, SIPp can be integrated with a BMS for improved building energy efficiency, and with billing software to link power consumption to invoicing.
SIPp is a simple, easy-to-use power monitoring solution, helping data centres safeguard security of service, reduce running costs and comply with environmental legislation.
