This presentation explores device and in-feed power measurements within the data center cabinet using a cabinet power distribution unit. These measurements can be used to help calculate PUE and DCiE efficiency metrics, allocate cooling resources, identify comatose servers, and for capacity planning. It also looks at kW-h power information that can be used for billing specific departments within an enterprise data center or by co-location facilities for billing based on actual power usage.
