HP offers Dynamic Power Capping to help customers reclaim stranded power in existing data centers or to optimize use of power and cooling capacity in new data centers. Dynamic Power Capping allows the data center manager to cap power, limiting peak power consumption without impacting performance and without risk of over-subscribing data center branch circuits.

This paper explores how power allocation typically works in the data center, outlines expected Dynamic Power Capping total cost of ownership benefits and outlines best practices for Dynamic Power Capping implementation.
