OpenManage Power Center
OpenManage Power Center is a one-to-many application that can read power usage and thermal readings information from Dell
EMC servers, Power Distribution Units (PDU), and Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS). It can aggregate this information into rack,
row, and room-level views. On servers with iDRAC Enterprise license, you can also cap or throttle the power consumption. You may
need to set power caps to reduce the power consumption due to external events such as brownouts or failures of data-center
cooling devices. You can also use power capping to safely increase the numbers of servers in a rack to match the power that is
provisioned for that rack.
