Some companies spend up to half of their IT operating budgets on datacenter power and cooling. IBM BladeCenter, with Intel® Xeon® processors, gives you more control over energy efficiency with IBM Cool Blue™ technologies, a comprehensive portfolio of energy management tools.
One specific technology, IBM Systems Director Active Energy Manager™, allows you to monitor and control power consumption while providing an accurate picture of your energy needs. Plus, the new power virtualization feature allows you to take power from servers that don’t need it all and allocate it to new servers. This can help you achieve better cost control and performance within your power limits.
