Price power in your data center to propel profits

Price power in your data center to propel profits

How you charge for power is one of the most important pricing decisions you make as a hosting company.  Whether you allocate costs based on energy used (kWh),  the maximum load your facility must provide (peak  kVA),  typical usage (average hourly W) or some other approach,  your choice will have a significant impact on both your selling strategy and your revenues. Packet Power’s EMX Energy Portal provides instant access to detailed power usage information helping dozens of colo companies like yours effectively bill customers.

EMX simplifies energy cost allocation and reporting with a range of standard and customizable reports. With minimal set up time, you can:

  • Allocate costs based on kWh used, average and maximum W and VA, and usage in excess of customer-specific kW threshold
  • Aggregate usage by devices, circuits, cabinets, cages or rooms broken down by customer
  • Aggregate customer usage information across multiple geographic locations
  • Provide your billing department access via a secure URL to easily integrate with billing software applications
  • Download reports into Excel (and other formats upon request).
