Excerpt
Excerpt This solution helps customers monitor energy consumption to allow better utilization of available energy resources. The application software enables customers to trend actual energy consumption and corresponding thermal loading of IBM Systems running in their environment with their applications. This helps customers: Allocate less power and cooling infrastructure to IBM servers; Lower power usage on select IBM servers; Plan for the future by viewing trends of power usage over time; Determine power usage for all components of a rack; Better understand energy usage across your data center. |

Claims
1
A method for remotely controlling power consumption of at least one server, comprising:
providing remote control to an administrator over a power state of at least one server;
building an instruction command and encoding it into a suitable format for transport over a data network from an administration terminal to the at least one server; and
interpreting the command and executing the command by the at least one server without powering down the at least one server.
Relevance
IBM claims that controlling power consumption is achievable using their tool. Remotely controlling power consumption is possible since IBM Director is remotely accessible.
