The Power Assure and iTRACS collaboration unlocks operational data and
turns it into actionable insight to help decision-makers reduce OPEX (News - Alert) and
CAPEX through aggressive server consolidation and resource management
strategies; optimize the business output of the data center via
increased rack capacities and higher CPU utilization; and implement a
variety of new strategies for monetizing the data center fleet across
geographies, including participation in the energy market by shifting
and selling excess IT energy loads.
This transformative solution combines Power Assure's open API and web
services-based PAR4
server performance metrics, IT forecasting, and global energy
intelligence software with iTRACS' open systems Converged
Physical Infrastructure Management™ (CPIM®) DCIM software suite for
visualizing, managing, and optimizing the physical ecosystem. Power
Assure and iTRACS have been recognized as DCIM specialist by Gartner
under "Vendors to Watch" in its November 27, 2012 research note
entitled "Market Trends: Total Addressable DCIM Market Will Reach $1.7B
in 2016."
"Power Assure's partnership with iTRACS signifies the growing shift in
how data centers contribute to an enterprise," said Brad Wurtz,
president and CEO, Power Assure. "With monetization through
participation in the energy market, data centers can accurately forecast
IT energy loads to automatically shift, shed, and sell their energy
loads back to utilities, becoming a source of new revenue. Combined with
new cost reduction strategies including better methodologies for
Computational Fluid Dynamics modeling, the data center can be converted
from a cost center to a revenue center. We are excited to help drive
this transformation with iTRACS."
"The financial community is increasingly treating the data center as a
capital asset with direct impact on the organization's top and bottom
lines," said Elizabeth Given, president and CEO, iTRACS. "The data
center is evolving from a cost center to a source of revenue and
profitability, whether you're increasing customer transactions per
kilowatt or participating in the lucrative energy market. Our
partnership with Power Assure underscores the value of an extensible
DCIM software suite in fueling this evolution."
