JSCS Computer Solutions illustrates how to download, install and configure Raritan's Power IQ Virtual Application on VMware Player. Power IQ is a management application that allows you to accurately monitor and measure key power data and provides energy and CO2 consumption reports for IT devices, racks, zones, customers and data centers.

Raritan's Power IQ solution measures the power at each outlet and consolidates that information. The Raritan solution turns this data into energy in the form of kilowatt hours and allows you to roll up that information at various levels of hierarchy within your data center so you can report your actual power used at an IT device level, at a rack level, at a row level, at a room level, at a floor level, or a data center level. The system easily allows you to then take that data that you've aggregated up and report on that data in our analytics page. This video shows how to generate those customizable reports. This solution works with APC, Geist, Avocent and many more PDUs.
