power capacity management system and management method based on PDU monitoring

Abstract

The invention provides a power capacity management system and management method based on PDU monitoring, and the system comprises a data collection server which is configured to be used for collectingdata from a plurality of power distribution units; a data storage device which is configured to store the data acquired by the data acquisition server; and a monitoring server which is configured toexecute corresponding monitoring operation according to the data stored in the data storage device. The invention discloses a monitoring management system. An efficient power distribution unit monitoring management system is constructed; the real-time operation power of various IT equipment in the data center can be effectively monitored and counted, the equipment capable of being put on shelves in the data center machine room is calculated based on the actual power of the various IT equipment, the power utilization rate of the machine room is improved while the power utilization safety of themachine room is ensured, and fine management of the power capacity of the data center machine room is achieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to the technical field of data center operation, maintenance, monitoring and management. More specifically, the present invention relates to a monitoring and management system and method for an intelligent power distribution unit (PDU). Background technique [0002] The power distribution unit (“PDU”) monitoring system is mainly used for PDU infrastructure monitoring in data centers, computer rooms, etc. The current PDU infrastructure operation and maintenance still uses outdated operation and maintenance methods. For example, the current collection of many PDU infrastructure data is based on manual inspection, which is inefficient and error-prone. [0003] Secondly, some infrastructure manufacturers provide corresponding equipment systems that can be used to view the data information in the system, but the data collected by each manufacturer has not been centrally managed and analyzed accordingly, such as no s...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0005] 1. The data center does not use intelligent PDU, so it is impossible to collect the power data of each jack (or power supply module of the equipment);

[0006] 2. Some manufacturers provide corresponding equipment systems that can be used to view the data information inside, but the data collected by each manufacturer has not been centrally managed and analyzed accordingly, such as no statistical analysis, no alarm analysis, and alarms that are not connected to the work order system, etc. , the data did not maximize its value;

[0007] 3. The use of power resources in the computer room is not maximized, resulting in waste of power capacity, which reduces the utilization rate of the overall resources of the data center and increases operating costs; for example, there will be a power line for the top cabinet and cabinet, and now many devices are in the cabinet. The use of space and power resources is not fully utilized because there is no data monitoring to provide support;

[0008] As the planned capacity of a single data center's power is "exhausted", but the actual power resource utilization rate may be less than 50%, refined power capacity management based on smart PDU power data monitoring and analysis can effectively solve the planning problem. The problem of capacity being "depleted" while actual utilization is low
