Capacity Manager Planning and optimizing utilization of actual power, cooling and rack capacities via shared data center model, enabling efficient equipment provisioning and right-sizing of your data center Balance IT Demand with Physical Infrastructure Capabilities
Capacity Manager Applications • Data Center Management Application Enables planning and optimization of… Cooling Capacity Power Capacity Rack Space InfraStruXure Solutions/Data Centers with up to 200 Racks Floor Space Requirements: • InfraStruXure Central • Metered or Switched Rack PDUs in Each Rack Optional: • APC InRowTM Cooling for Optimal Utilization
Capacity Manager Product Design Benefits Measured power data Enable efficient physical infrastructure use through visibility to average & peak power consumption Physical equipment planning Quickly locate the optimum spot for that next server based on space, cooling and power needs Capacity policies Specify architecture capabilities to; match IT equipment with availability needs ad avoid stranded space, power and cooling capacity InRow airflow analysis Locate new devices without overheating new or existing equipment by simulating changes in; supply temperature, airflow and number of cooling units Design analysis Model the effects of and compare alternative layouts through detailed design analysis Common data model Ensure mature and synchronized data throughout the entire data center life cycle Available capacity Understand available capacity by calculating actual space, power and cooling consumption against data center architecture constraints
Rack front view Easy to use rack front view enables accurate and detailed representation of equipment location Space reservation Reserve power, cooling and rack space for new equipment to be installed quickly and easily Rack equipment provisioning Create work orders and automatically generate tasks to move, add or change IT equipment
Generic UPS support Allows for modeling data from any UPS vendor, providing support for brown-field environments Electrical room support Allows for rooms outside the data center floor, in order to include centralized power equipment in the capacity and change planning Capacity policies Specify architecture capabilities to; match IT equipment with availability needs and avoid stranded space, power and cooling capacity
Graphical power gauge Prevent overloads through visibility to average and peak power usage by measuring actual consumption through APC’s metered or switched rPDUs Multi-user access Enables several users to carry out work orders and plan future moves, adds or changes simultaneously Localization User interface available in major local languages
Device catalog Utilize the extensive library of physical infrastructure and IT devices from leading vendors. 3-phase load balancing Track single and 3-phase applications, ensuring all 3 phases on the power system carries a balanced load Capacity Reports Shows planned and actual power data in one view, enabling detailed planning of future power needs Power dependency path Map the power path and physical system relationships and dependencies
Keyword tagging Highlight location constraints through keyword tagging of data center racks or equipment Floor layout View an accurate representation of your data center through the easy to use graphical floor layout and birds eye view Custom Devices Quickly customize catalog devices to your specification in just 2 clicks, amending data points such as power requirements Virtual store room Keep track of new devices from arrival on site in the virtual store room
The APC Management Process Single Instance in Time Revolving Cycle of Constant Change

Capacity Manager Related Products Change Manager Fully integrated asset and inventory management for your IT physical infrastructure InfraStruXure Central Server {pre-requisite} An IT-ready, scalable monitoring system which collects, organizes, and distributes critical alerts, surveillance video and key information, providing a unified view of complex physical infrastructure environments from anywhere on the network Metered or Switched Rack PDU Comprehensive rack power distribution solutions for every IT environment from networking equipment to high density blade server applications InRow Cooling In-row precision air conditioning for medium to large data centers including high density applications
Capacity Manager Summary Planning and optimizing utilization of actual power, cooling and rack capacities via shared data center model, enabling efficient equipment provisioning and right-sizing of your data center • Predictable Planning • Predicts the optimal location for physical infrastructure and rack-based IT equipment based on the availability and requirements of power, cooling and space; and user defined criteria such as redundancy and business use grouping. • Capacity Analysis • A sophisticated modeling engine, based on real-time data, proactively analyzes the impact of changes before they occur, enabling informed decision making and planning. The result: assurance that your physical infrastructure provides the redundancy, run time and availability required. • Inventory Management • Robust inventory management application provides a visual model of the room and rack layout. Rack-level views enable easy tracking of IT assets and available space. A detailed, user definable catalog of IT equipment provides device information and physical attributes Balance IT Demand with Physical Infrastructure Capabilities
