Metered Power Solutions
Metered Power and Cost Saving Energy Tools for ROI
With enterprise expansion, virtualization and globalization, it is increasingly important for customers to put power back into their own hands and not just rely on a reading from the Data Center.
Data center energy management requires a multi-pronged approach: power-sipping hardware, tools that generate a clear depiction of energy use and expose areas where changes will pay off, and business strategies that bring in the right energy control products with the best return on investment (ROI).
It’s impossible to determine energy efficiency without a usage baseline.
Estimates based on power use measured at the building’s meter are adequate for global assessments, like power usage effectiveness (PUE), but not to determine specific systems’ efficiency.
Telehouse provides the tools to measure power for precision by the kW/hour.
Metered Power
The most common pricing model is referred to as metered power. In this model, you are charged for the power you use similar to how a utility company charges a residential customer. Metered power is a pass through cost from the data center to the customer.
Unmetered Power
Unmetered power is a pricing model where the data center or colocation provider charges a flat rate for the circuit(s). this could also include bundled offering with space, power, bandwidth, IP, and remote hands.
Telehouse can provide both options—metered or unmetered.
Based on the size of your data center deployment Telehouse can provide a metered power solution and the tools which measure power by the kW/hour. Generally, large scale deployments are requiring this for more precision (50 cabinets and up). Now, they can monitor their power demands more closely.
