Lenovo XClarity Energy Manager
Lenovo XClarity Energy Manager is a web-based power and temperature management solution designed for
data center administrators. It monitors and manages the power consumption and temperature of servers,
such as Converged, NeXtScale, System x, ThinkServer, and ThinkSystem servers, using the out-of-band
method. Lenovo XClarity Energy Manager models data center physical hierarchy and monitors power and
temperature at the server/group level. By analyzing monitored power and temperature data, Lenovo XClarity
Energy Manager greatly improves business continuity and energy efficiency.
With Lenovo XClarity Energy Manager, administrators can take control of power usage through improved
data analysis and lower the TCO (total cost of ownership). The tool optimizes data center efficiency by
allowing administrators to:
• Track platform power consumption, inlet temperature, and component-level power consumption, such as
CPU and memory power consumption.
• Visually check the layout of room, row and rack via 2D thermal map.
• Show events and send e-mail or SNMP trap notifications when certain faults occur or certain thresholds
are reached.
• Optimize energy efficiency by identifying hotspot or over-cooling servers to optimize cooling efficiency
and identifying low-usage servers to save energy.
