Power Consumption Visualization

The power consumption and the temperature 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. 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.
