"How does PowerRecon 2.0 fit in? It gives visibility to all the resources in the datacenter. Many datacenters don’t know how many servers they have, they don’t know what’s running on those servers, they don’t know what kind of workload utilization those servers are running off, or how well the workload demand and its resource supply fits it. So, what PowerRecon does is allow the datacenter manager, or the datacenter user, more visibility into what they have and how effectively workloads are assigned to resources. Some of the main benefits and features of PowerRecon 2.0 are very rich data modeling of organizational resources and workloads that gives the user insight into how things are running. Customized reports identify servers that need to be consolidated or deconsolidated. The product is installed in the datacenter and is agentless, which helps you avoid security violations since there is no need to send the information or data to a third party for analysis. We also have this notion of asset inventory. All the hardware and software components within the datacenter are detected along with their workload and utilization specific details. So, from a server consolidation point of view, being able to balance the workload demand and resource supply, getting visibility into the datacenter, and doing the capacity planning, PowerRecon 2.0 really fits in to make that a lot easier."
