Server Technology Launches Next Generation SPM

SPM 5.0 : Rack-Level Data Center Power Management Solution
SPM is a unique data management tool in that it can serve as a user interface to cabinet power information and/or as a middleware solution, integrating with a variety of existing data center infrastructure management (DCIM) solutions. SPM provides data center power and environmental information via an Application Programming Interface (API) for a true "single pane of glass" view. In either application, SPM allows users to manage their entire CDU network for discovery, setup, configuration and firmware upgrades, as well as receive email alerts and Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) trap forwarding and alarms. Additionally, SPM can monitor CDUs from APC, Raritan, Geist and others.



New features and functionality in SPM 5.0 include:

User Defined Customer NOC views. SPM's new user interface makes it easy for users to set up their own NOC views, from a global dashboard, to each CDU, cabinet, location, outlet, outlet groups and clusters and system alarm status zones for contents, recent events and trends.

Circuit and Line Management. Users can now balance their 3-phase lines, mapping out and managing the physical infrastructure of their power systems feeding one or many cabinets, each with one or many CDUs, to provide information, contents, recent events and trends.

Improved Scheduling. Users can now create and save reports and schedule reports and send automatically via email, including scheduling outlet actions, device discovery reports and trends, backup, outlet group and clusters and database maintenance.

Intelligent Data Grid Management. New Intelligent Data Filtering Technology allows users to show specific information and manage, sort and export large blocks of data instantly.

Enhanced Search. Users can now search on virtually anything as well as have multiple search results open and worked concurrently, aided by hot links within the search.

Automatic Firmware Upgrades. SPM will now autodiscover new CDUs and automatically upgrade the firmware when new versions are released.

Global Thresholds. Users can now set thresholds for their CDU network globally, receiving email alerts when those thresholds are exceeded, active alarm monitoring and reports on alarm history.

Integrated Online Help. Extensive help functionality and FAQs are now easily accessible online.
