IBM Systems Director Active Energy Manager
IBM Systems Director Active Energy Manager (AEM) provides an array of new features that allow power
and thermal trending analysis for improved power management. AEM collects power information for each
device attached to an IBM UPS, presenting a more complete view of energy usage within the data center.
The IBM Systems Director Active Energy Manager (AEM) helps:
Collect power information from each device attached to an IBM UPS, thus presenting a more
complete view of energy usage.
With server consolidation plans, because of the increased server and rack power densities that have
driven the requirement for advanced power management solutions.
In combination with the optional Environmental Monitoring Probe, AEM enables cross-platform power
and thermal trending analysis for improved power management. This configuration allows IT and
facility managers to manage data centers for optimal energy efficiency, migrate workloads to
eliminate hot spots, and transfer work from underutilized systems to conserve energy.
