Lenovo XClarity Energy Manager
Lenovo XClarity Energy Manager is a web-based power and temperature management solution designed for
data center administrators. It monitors and manages the power consumption and temperature of servers,
such as Converged, NeXtScale, System x, ThinkServer, and ThinkSystem servers. Lenovo XClarity Energy
Manager models data center physical hierarchy and monitors power and temperature at the server/group
level. By analyzing monitored power and temperature data, Lenovo XClarity Energy Manager greatly
improves business continuity and energy efficiency.
With Lenovo XClarity Energy Manager, administrators can take control of power usage through improved
data analysis and lower the TCO (total cost of ownership). The tool optimizes data center efficiency by
allowing administrators to:
• Monitor energy consumption, estimate power need, and re-allocate power to servers as needed via IPMI
or Redfish.
• Track platform power consumption, inlet temperature, CPU and memory power consumption.
• Visually check the layout of room, row and rack via 2D thermal map.
• Send notifications when certain events occur or thresholds are reached.
• Limit the consumed amount of energy of an endpoint by setting up policies.
• Optimize energy efficiency by monitoring real-time inlet temperatures, identifying low-usage servers
based on out-of-band power data, measuring power rangers for different server models, and evaluating
how servers accommodate new workloads based on the availability of resources.
• Reduce the power consumption to the minimum level to prolong service time during emergency power
event (such as a data-center power failure).
