Power is Money One of the coolest new features in Ops Center is the ability to monitor power utilization over time, per server. Mike Barrett from the Ops Center marketing team just sent me some really cool stuff he's been developing using this capability. In particular, he's figured out how to easily export kilowatt hours into a simple format that can be use for some simple calculations to figure out the annual power cost for a server. Below is an example where Mike has computed his annual power cost for a new Sun x4150 is about $270. This is really just a start with what you can do with this capability, but it's also something that shows us direction for the future. People are getting more and more interesting in this kind of capability so we'll providing more and more features like this built into Ops Center.
