Power Consumption Visualization

The power consumption and the temperature of the ETERNUS DX can be visualized with a graph by using the
ETERNUS SF Storage Cruiser integrated management software in a storage system environment. The ETERNUS
DX collects information on power consumption and the ambient temperature in the ETERNUS DX. Collected
information is notified using SNMP and graphically displayed on the screens by ETERNUS SF Storage Cruiser. The
cooling efficiency can be improved by rearranging air-conditioning based on the local temperature rise detected
in the data center.
Understanding the drives that have a specific time to be used from the access frequency to RAID groups enables
the Eco-mode schedule to be adjusted accordingly.
