TSO Logic to Integrate Intel’s Datacenter Manager 

TSO Logic today announced a relationship with Intel that will provide data centers with unprecedented visibility into server power costs and usage, along with the tools to significantly decrease energy consumption.

With this first-of-its-kind integration, TSO Logic's industry-leading Application-Aware Power Management solution will incorporate Intel's Data Center Manager (DCM) software to communicate with hardware manufacturers, such as IBM and Dell, to unlock new power control capabilities for the industry.

TSO Logic's software uses workload and application-level inspection to determine how much data center's power is being used for revenue-generating activities versus idle servers. This easy-to-implement solution then uses proprietary algorithms to adjust server power draw based on need and has proven to cut power costs in excess of 50 percent without sacrificing performance or making changes to IT infrastructure.

"Pressing data center challenges such as limited capacity, constrained budgets, and increasing demand have raised the power usage issue to the top of the agenda for data center operators and C-level management. Unfortunately, traditional metrics only tell half the power management and consumption story," said Andrew Donoghue, senior analyst for 451 Research. "TSO Logic is tackling the problem by developing tools that enable a more nuanced understanding of how power is consumed in data centers. Additionally, through the TSO Logic and Intel partnership customers can now actively manage and reduce power usage without impacting IT service delivery."
