iMeter Monitoring Software

The 2bm iMeter Management Software (iMS) is an extremely powerful data collection, analytical and reporting software suite which has been designed to enable IT and facilities personnel to manage power consumption in the data centre more efficiently.

The iMS solution monitors the 2bm iMeter and its attached sensors in order to collect sensor data including power usage, temperature and humidity, enabling companies to gain a better understanding of where power savings can be made within the data centre.

The iMS is compiled of two principle components:

iCollect is the data collection engine that runs continually to log all data from the power and environmental sensors connected to the 2bm iMeter.

iReport is the reporting and analysis component that provides users with the ability to manipulate the collected data in a host of formats.

Key Features of iMS include:

• iMS monitors the 2bm iMeter and its attached sensors to collect all required sensor data – power (current, voltage), temperature, humidity
• Power usage, temperature, etc. can be monitored down to rack level
• Analysis can be carried out on specific sensors or groups of sensors and over user defined time periods
• Data can be analysed by data collection interval: Hour, day, week, month, quarter or year
• Minimum, maximum and average readings can be produced for analysis
• Carbon footprint and kWh data can be reported and graphed to provide an indication of power consumption and costs
• Reports can be formalised in pdf, html and Excel formats
• Data can be viewed in an extensive variety of chart formats (bar graph, line graph, etc.)
