Raritan Announces Power IQ Software with Smart Rack Views and Quick Charts for Getting and Sharing Key Data Center Energy Information Easily

As part of Raritan's Smart Rack initiative to help data centers improve operations and energy efficiency by adding intelligence throughout data center racks, the company today introduced Power IQ® 3.1 Energy Management Software with Smart Rack Views and Quick Charts.  These new features provide one-click access to key energy and operations information in a rack  -- including power, cooling, humidity, airflow, and events -- and, the ability to further drill down to detailed information on rack assets, such as PDUs, IT devices, and breakers.

The new features in Power IQ 3.1 help data center managers easily obtain information and answers to key questions, such as: Are there hot spots?; What is the relationship between power load and temperature in a rack?; Is my 3-phase power in balance?; and When do I run out of capacity?  The Quick Charts in the Smart Rack and PDU view, for example, show trend line relationship between rack power load and temperature and the three phases of a 3-phase PDU
