IBM Systems Energy Estimator

The IBM Systems Energy Estimator (also referred to as Energy Estimator or Estimator) is a web-based tool for estimating power requirements for IBM Power Systems. You can use this tool to estimate typical power requirements (watts) for a specific system configuration under normal operating conditions. The Energy Estimator can be run in stand-alone mode and is also integrated with the IBM Systems Workload Estimator. The Energy Estimator will be regularly updated to support new hardware and software functions.

The estimated power requirement is described as "typical" and does not necessarily represent the worst-case power condition that can be measured at 100 percent processor utilization or under abnormal operating conditions such as excessive inlet temperature or hardware failure. The estimated power requirement supports default settings for IBM EnergyScale technology for all models. Additional estimation support is provided for Static Power Saver Mode on certain POWER7 models. Power saver modes can be modified on IBM Power Systems using IBM Systems Director Active Energy Manager.
