  • HP Dynamic Power Capping
    HP Dynamic Power Capping helps customers reallocate power and cooling resources in the data center by dynamically setting or capping the power drawn by servers. This eliminates the need for overprovisioning by precisely identifying how much power is actually required to run each server and setting a limit based on that usage. As a result, companies reclaim their overprovisioned energy to improve the capacity of their data center.
