Raritan Power IQ 2.0 energy management software

The Raritan Power IQ 2.0 energy management software provides thermal analytics for monitoring rack temperatures.

The software monitors rack temperatures based on industry guidelines, including American Society of Heating Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers guidelines that recommend the upper temperature limit in a data centre be increased by 15.7 to 27°C. The system informs users if a data centre is within these recommendations and how much energy could be saved by increasing the temperature to meet them, alerts users if the temperature exceeds threshold conditions and provides long-term trend charts. It also enables graceful shutdown of under-utilised Windows and Linux servers.

Other features include power and environmental health monitoring, vendor-agnostic naming rack PDU outlets and enhanced search that enables the use of a partial IT device name or IP to find PDUs or IT devices.
