1.4 MAJOR FUNCTIONS OF THE PRODUCT

1. Device Management

In Smart Grid, servers are organized through the management view. The management view shows both Lenovo ThinkServer servers and non-Lenovo

servers that can be currently managed in the forms of tree graph, listing and grouping. These three types of management views not only provide

comprehensive server information management functionality, but also provide the setup function for the power consumption status of devices, so as to

achieve differentiated power consumption management for devices under different states. The major functions include: device information

management (auto discovery, addition, deletion, modification, query, batch import and batch export), device status changes, device power

consumption management and device performance management.

2. Power Consumption Management

The administrators can remotely monitor and control the power consumption of servers, including monitoring the power consumption information and

controlling device power consumption. Appropriate energy-saving policy for every device is determined step by step with the circulating optimization

mode provided by this system, i.e. Learning  Controlling  Analyzing  Relearning  Recontrolling. For such a specific usage model, Smart Grid

provides full life-cycle guide to help users optimize power consumption management policy.

In addition, users can select the duration for storing the historical power consumption records of the servers, and can also export the saved data.

3. Performance Management

The administrators can monitor the CPU and memory utilization of servers remotely in order to help users understand the operating condition of

servers.

The device performance data monitoring function is also provided by this product to be used together with power consumption management, and for

the devices that reach the performance threshold, a threshold warning will be generated to inform the administrator that the device has performance

problems, and that the power consumption control needs to be stopped or that appropriate power consumption control policy needs to be selected.

Note: because Smart Grid manages the servers by using the interfaces of IPMI and Node Manager

standard protocols, theoretically the power consumption management may also be performed on other

servers that support Node Manager 1.5 and 2.0.
