ATEN’s eco DC perfectly synergize with NRGence• Energy Intelligence PDUs to provide the mechanisms to optimize your energy needs. eco DC and PDU can measure the Dynamic Rack Cooling Index (RCI) and Return Temperature Index (RTI). This allows data centers to analyze the operational efficiency of equipment versus the cost of cooling, in order to better manage power allocation. These indexes have been incorporated into the U.S. Department of Energy DC Pro software tools for data center energy assessments and the Data Center Energy Practitioner program.

Using ATEN’s NRGence• Energy Intelligence PDU and eco DC, an administrator’s data center is equipped with real time monitoring, measurements and EnPIs analysis that produce reports of power usage, PUE, RCI and RTI to meet the ISO 50001 requirements. With these critical indexes, you can generate customized reports about your data center’s energy usage that include energy saving suggestions. Following these suggestions allows you to optimize energy usage and save energy without harming the IT equipment’s reliability.

Eco DC is the new Web-based GUI that allows users log in to manage and control PDUs through web browser. No additional install or setup needed. Eco DC can run under any platform and OS. Users can easily manage the power consumption of the data center through intuitive interface and graphics.
