Overview

» Supported Servers

Power Regulator is an innovative operating system-independent power management feature of HP ProLiant servers that offers new alternatives to manage server power consumption and system performance to meet critical business needs.

This new power management technology enables dynamic or static changes in CPU performance and power states. In dynamic mode, Power Regulator automatically adjusts the server's processor power usage and performance to match CPU application activity. This improves server energy efficiency by giving CPUs full power for applications when they need it and enabling power savings without performance degradation when application activity is reduced. Power Regulator effectively executes automated policy-based power management at the individual server level. In addition, a unique static low power mode allows servers to run continuously in a system's lowest power state.

In addition to Power Regulator, ProLiant servers also support operating system based power management using Intel Demand Based Switching and AMD Opteron PowerNow. HP gives customers flexibility to choose the power management that best meets their needs.


What's new

  • Power Regulator dynamic and static low power support for Intel Xeon DP and MP based ProLiant servers
  • Power Regulator static low power support for AMD Opteron based ProLiant servers
  • Current and historical P-state reporting from iLO Advanced v. 1.80

Benefits

ProLiant customers can benefit from Power Regulator for ProLiant in several ways.
  • Saves on system power and cooling costs
    • Operate ProLiant servers more efficiently by consuming less power and reducing BTU output during periods of reduced activity
  • Increases facility compute capacity
    • Increase system efficiency and free up system and cooling power capacity
  • Provides operating system independent power management
    • Power Regulator is implemented in hardware and firmware so operating system upgrades are not required
  • Provides more power saving options
    • Power Regulator supports dynamic and static power savings modes on multiple ProLiant server models.
  • Easy verification of current and historical high and low power level operation
    • Reports historical power level usage in dynamic mode via the iLO Advanced browser or script.
  • Provides flexible and scalable setup
    • Power Regulator can be enabled on large groups of systems simultaneously using the iLO scripting interface or on single systems from the system ROM or iLO browser or command line
  • Protects the environment
    • Conserve energy through increased efficiency in your data center or computer room
