Lenovo XClarity Energy Manager
Lenovo XClarity Energy Manager provides a stand-alone, web-based agent-less power management console
that provides real time data and enables you to observe, plan and manage power and cooling for Lenovo
servers. Using built-in intelligence, it identifies server power consumption trends and ideal power settings and
performs cooling analysis so that you can define and optimize power-saving policies.
Lenovo XClarity Energy Manager offers the following capabilities:
Monitors room, row, rack, and device levels in the data center
Reports vital server information, such as power, temperature and resource utilization
Monitors inlet temperature to locate hot spots, reducing the risk of data or device damage
Provides finely-grained controls to limit platform power in compliance with IT policy
Generates alerts when a user-defined threshold is reached
Lenovo XClarity Energy Manager is an optional software component for the SR250 server that is licensed on a
per managed node basis, that is, each managed server requires a license. The 1-node Energy Manager license
is included in the XClarity Controller Enterprise upgrade.
To manage systems without XClarity Controller Enterprise licenses, a node license pack should be purchased.
