ATEN eco DC Web GUI has been developed to work with ATEN PE series green energy power distribution units (PDUs) to effectively increase the efficiency of data centers' power usage.

Eco DC is a web-based GUI allowing users to manage and control PDUs through a web browser. There is no additional software to install or setup steps needed to manage your ATEN PDUs. eco DC can run in any OS platform allowing users to easily manage the power consumption of a data center through intuitive interface with easy to read graphics.

Coupled with sensor-enabled eco PDUs, eco DC web GUI can give you means to assess, diagnose, and estimate how much energy you are using and ultimately save. Following the suggestions generated by the sensor-enabled system allows you to optimize energy usage to save energy without harming your IT equipment's reliability.

ATEN eco DC web GUI provides secure and centralized (single portal, single login) access, administration, and management for up to 3000 PE devices over the network – local and worldwide – anywhere and anytime.

Because ATEN eco DC offers a single, integrated web-based GUI to manage all your devices, users no longer need to learn the interface for each individual device or remember every device's IP address, making system management easier and more efficient.

By consolidating the management of your ATEN devices, eco DC allows every device to be accessed and controlled by means of a single login. Its ability to manage all outlets in different ATEN devices makes eco DC the ideal solution for the power management of large data centers and branch office server rooms located in several remote locations within the same intranet.

ATEN eco DC is able to automatically discover all ATEN devices within the same intranet and has the ability to monitor/manage them. The web GUI provides monitoring/managing of PE device outlet power ON/OFF/Reboot, sequential ON/OFF of outlet, current / kWH / environmental monitoring at PDU/outlet level, name of outlet, current / kWH / environmental sensor
threshold setting/alert, etc., through SNMP. Threshold exceeding alerts are also available through Syslog/SMTP.

ATEN's eco DC offers the full functionality capable of managing the PDUs through SNMP. This allows multiple users to log to the web GUI concurrently to manage PDUs in different authorized room, floors, or buildings, making distributed PDU management much more efficient under one centralized environment.

With two levels of authorized user accounts and permissions, users can be configured to monitor and manage different functions of each PDU. Having this new web-based version allows data centers to optimize their performance and centralize their management.

ATEN eco DC perfectly synergizes with ATEN Power Distribution Units (PDUs) to provide an efficient way to optimize users energy needs. Administrator's data center is equipped with real-time monitoring, measurements and EnPIs analysis that produce reports of power usage and PUE to meet the ISO 50001 requirements. With these critical indexes, users will receive customized reports about the energy usage of the data center as well as energy saving suggestions, which allow users to enhance energy usage and save energy without harming the IT equipment's reliability.

Power Measurement and Scheduling by Zone
eco DC allows users to group racks in up to 128 zones and defi ne specifi c areas that users wish to get readings for. Administrators can schedule power on and off by zone and monitor real-time stats with data such as peak and average power usage per zone.

Power Analysis Report
eco DC offers comprehensive power analysis reports, which can be segmented by departments and locations. It displays trending charts in real-time or according to the day, month, year, or grasps the power consumption needs of each season. By knowing the actual power consumption trends with easy to read charts, administrators can allocate energy resources and prevent wasted power capacity.

Optimum Data Center Energy Management
When used in conjunction with sensor-enabled eco PDUs, eco DC provides administrators with dynamic power analysis to protect IT equipment from excess heat or insuffi cient power capacity.

Fan Energy Saving and Chiller Energy Saving
eco DC provides real-time power measurements and environmental monitoring of a data center from a variety of locations including: at the zone, rack, device or outlet level. By generating customized reports about user's data center's status, administrators can evaluate the Fan Energy Saving and Chiller Energy Saving potential. With this information, administrators can quickly analyze and confi rm how long it will take to recover the cost of investing new energy resources, and confirm the return on investment.

Sensors
For complete energy management of an instrumented data center with the use of ATEN eco PDU and eco DC web GUI, you should install 4 sensors for each of the racks in your data center in order to generate a complete energyefficient data chart. Higher sensor installation density is helpful to generate more accurate data. 8-port models have 2 sensor ports. In this case, Sensor 1 needs to be installed at the intake of the rack (EA1140 or EA1240) and sensor 2 needs to be placed at the exhaust of the IT equipment of the rack.
