New Power Consumption Dashboard visualizes
platform power consumption to support environmental initiatives
.NEXT Conference – Nutanix (NASDAQ: NTNX), a leader in
hybrid multicloud computing, today announced new capabilities in
Nutanix Cloud Platform that will deliver visibility of the power
consumption of a Nutanix environment. This will help organizations
improve sustainability planning with power consumption based on
measurements from the hardware in use, updated in near-real time.
Customers will be able to visualize power metrics in their Nutanix
dashboard and better understand energy utilization across their
environment.
“Energy efficiency metrics are increasingly important for IT
infrastructure personnel looking to optimize resources and meet
sustainability goals,” said Steve McDowell, Chief Analyst, NAND
Research. “Active monitoring of power metrics is an exciting new
tool for Nutanix customers struggling to achieve their
environmental goals.”
According to the Nutanix Enterprise Cloud Index, 88% of
organizations agree that sustainability is a priority and many are
taking active steps to implement sustainability initiatives, with
the most common being modernizing IT infrastructure. However,
organizations often struggle with being able to accurately measure
and plan their energy use, and by extension carbon emissions,
across their IT estate. Modern IT systems are complex, often
involving a mix of on-site servers, co-located platforms, and
service provider hosting. This complexity can often make it
difficult to access data and insights that would help inform
consumers of IT resources of their energy, and wider resource
use.
Included in Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure (NCI), this new
functionality will help customers simplify this process by
providing more detailed information on their energy usage rather
than estimations based on assumptions or “typical” consumption
values. It also builds upon recently released capabilities in
Nutanix’s X-Ray benchmarking tool providing power and energy
information for comparison alongside other performance metrics
(CPU, Memory, IOPS, etc.) for real-world scenarios. This can help
customers better understand the power and energy usage for specific
simulated workloads and make more informed decisions based on the
best available data.
“Organizations across the world have been benefiting from the
server-based, webscale architecture of the Nutanix Cloud Platform
to actively reduce their datacenter energy consumption,” said
Thomas Cornely, SVP, Product Management at Nutanix. “This new
functionality in Prism Central allows customers to visualize real
time power usage metrics and report historical data in support of
our customers’ sustainability goals.”
Nutanix Customers Highlight Reduction in Energy
With sustainability in mind, IT practitioners strive to strike a
balance of performance and efficient delivery of apps, data, and
compute. Technologies such as virtualization, containers, and
hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) consolidate workloads onto
fewer physical devices, reducing energy consumption and carbon
emissions compared to traditional infrastructure. On average,
Nutanix customers who shared their experiences using the NCI
solution, the HCI-based building block for the Nutanix Cloud
Platform, reported over a 70% decrease in physical footprint and a
50% reduction in energy consumption versus their legacy systems1. A
reduction in energy consumption can lead to a lessening in carbon
emissions, helping to minimize the environmental burden of an
organization's IT systems.
The power consumption dashboard is currently under development
and is the first step to providing users of the Nutanix Cloud
Platform with more information and tools to better support their
sustainable IT initiatives. More information can be found here.
