Lenovo XClarity Energy Manager

Lenovo XClarity Energy Manager (LXEM) is an agent-less, web-based console that provides power
management for ThinkServer, System x and ThinkSystem servers. It enables server density and data
center capacity to be increased through the use of power capping.
LXEM is a licensed product. A single-node LXEM license is included with the XClarity Controller Enterprise
(XCC Enterprise) version. Because the Enterprise version of XCC is standard in the SN550, a license for
XClarity Energy Manager is included. For more information on LXEM, please see the User

Lenovo XClarity Administrator

Lenovo XClarity Administrator is a centralized resource management solution designed to reduce
complexity, speed response, and enhance the availability of Lenovo systems and solutions.
Lenovo XClarity Administrator provides agent-free hardware management for ThinkSystem servers, in
addition to ThinkServer, System x, and Flex System servers. The administration dashboard is based on
HTML 5 and allows fast location of resources so tasks can be run quickly.
Because Lenovo XClarity Administrator does not require any agent software to be installed on the
managed endpoints, there are no CPU cycles spent on agent execution, and no memory is used, which
means that up to 1GB of RAM and 1 - 2% CPU usage is saved, compared to a typical managed system
where an agent is required.
