PAPILLON – what it does

PAPILLON is a unique, innovative and comprehensive power management system.

•  It measures server-level & application power usage in real-time

•  It has no requirement of any additional hardware (e.g. meters)

•  It is simple and intuitive to use, operates in Windows, Unix/Linux.

•  It is readily and quickly installed (hours).

5

It’s equivalent to having a Virtual Meter on every single server, creating a comprehensive, accurate and integrable power monitoring system, requiring no physical installation and consuming no power.

•  Accurate strategic analysis of data centre performance, leading to more efficient capital expenditure and operating cost control

•  Inform decision making for policy/strategy decisions, purchasing and optimal provisioning, and chargeback of resources

•  No Hardware costs

•  Balance power demand and identify hot-spots in real-time

•  Identify inactive servers to be powered down – saving up to 90%

•  Application usage can be monitored on an enterprise wide basis

•  Applications can run on more efficient hardware – saving up to 35%

•  Increase in server utilisation from typical 10-20% (IDC) to 80%

PAPILLON: Installation Agents self-install over TCP-IP. System remains fully operational during agent installation.

Agents are dormant for 99.9% of the time. At regular intervals each agent on a server will awake and read various O/S parameters.

Agents do not need any special privileges. They operate in normal ‘user mode’. They pose no security risk beyond any normal process.

Agents are installed once from the master using the TCP/IP network

Client

Transmit Monitor Agents

Agents only read various O/S parameters and only write information into TCP/IP packets

PAPILLON: Real Time Operation

Power Model D/base

The master accesses the appropriate power model for each client . With each clients data it computes its power consumption. All power computation and database storage is done by the master..

Agents wake periodically and observe pertinent system parameters. Each agent transmits packets containing parameter data.

Clients and servers use a REST (Representational State Transfer) protocol. This gives great portablity.
