4. Capacity Planning

SPM provides a trending feature that predicts what the power usage might be in the future. Every trend shows the Min/Max/Average values along with predictive trends showing two ascension rates based on different times. This allows the user the ability to check proactively when additional resources might be needed from the power or temperature system point of view as this trend predicts an estimated date and time when capacity or a power or temperature threshold will be exceeded.

5. Seamless Integration

An open API that is well documented allows SPM to share critical power and environmental information with other systems like BMS and DCIM solutions. These services include key information like system, location, cabinet, outlet, PDU, phase, branch and sensor information for users that want to take advantage of SPMs features but also have a single pane of glass view.
