April 18, 2007—PlateSpin Ltd. has introduced enhancements to its data center planning and analysis solution that will help organizations achieve new operational efficiencies while accelerating the path to environmental responsibility, the company says.
In addition to providing advanced planning, analysis, modeling and forecasting for consolidating, protecting and optimizing the data center, PlateSpin PowerRecon 3.0 now offers medium and large data centers a profitable course to green computing by providing organizations with the ability to analyze and report on power and cooling requirements and create plans for reducing energy consumption in the data center, PlateSpin says.
New features in PowerRecon 3.0 include the ability for organizations to compare their current power and cooling costs against projected post-consolidation costs and build consolidation and workload protection plans that dramatically reduce the total server infrastructure required to host and protect the data center.
PowerRecon’s advanced reporting capabilities make it easy to cost-justify green data center initiatives and complete the environmental assessments and validation required to qualify for utility rebates. When PowerRecon is used in conjunction with PowerConvert, PlateSpin’s anywhere-to-anywhere workload migration and protection product, the combined solution effectively automates the green computing initiative.
