nal data centre managers need to know how much power and energy is being used by the power strips plugged into their data centre machinery and by having power strips with built-in remote monitoring their job is therefore made so much easier.

Power strips available to buy in Britain vary from cheap white plastic versions imported en mass, normally from China to commercial, top-of-the range, metal-encased strips that are designed to fit into 19″ rack cabinets primarily used in data centres and on server farms.

Cheap power strips can certainly do the job and for domestic use (e.g. running a home entertainment system) they are probably the best option, definitely in terms of cost if not reliability. But, when used in a commercial environment such as a data centre, where there are usually hundreds of such strips providing power to a range of servers and other electrical machinery, reliability is the measure that is valued over cost.

If power strips installed in a commercial environment kept fusing or otherwise malfunctioning, just because they were cheap, it would be unacceptable. Indeed, the downtime resulting from such a strategy could be catastrophic in terms of both a loss of core business and also for the future of the data centre manager’s employment prospects!

Of course, it doesn’t always follow that the most expensive power strips will be the best, but like most things in life you tend to get what you pay for and for those seeking reliability, performance and guarantees it comes at a price. But, rather than install power strips that display no indication of their performance, data centre managers are increasingly turning to units that incorporate remote KWh monitoring with environmental monitoring.

Such units are capable of monitoring power (i.e. Volts/Amps/Power Factor) and energy use and logging the results remotely. In addition, the environment in which they are operating can also be monitored due to external sensors fitted to the unit, thus allowing users to see if there are any power spikes or troughs on the unit or in its surroundings.

Such intelligence when it comes to operating power strips is considered essential by experienced data centre managers, the majority of whom would not approve the fitting of power strips without some monitoring capability. Remote monitoring is even better as it allows the manager to be able to keep track of such units within the data centre by logging into a browser, via an in-built HTTP server. Alternatively and additionally the unit’s performance can be viewed and logged through a building or network management system using SNMP, or even imported directly into a SQL database using XML data output.

With such features available the higher cost of buying remote KWh monitoring power strips pays back for itself many times over in terms on increased efficiency, keeping both the company and subsequently, the data centre manager extremely happy!

Greenbee – the company offering financial and leisure services from the John Lewis Partnership – reveals almost a third (31 per cent) felt their home was an entertainment centre, with one in five (20 per cent) saying it was a place where they socialise and entertain friends and family. Those in East England are most likely to invite guests over for a friendly get together (28 per cent), compared to just 12 per cent of those in Wales.

However those thinking of hosting a ‘night in’ are being urged to consider their home insurance, as Greenbee.com warns that many people may well be left disappointed if they have to make a claim for accidental mishaps when entertaining at home. Just 28 out of 259 home contents products currently on offer (11 per cent) include accidental damage – such as a red wine spillage on the sofa – as standard. With approximately eight out of 10 people believed to be under-insured by around 80 per cent, and four in 10 claims on Greenbee Home insurance being for accidental damage/accidental loss ((based on claims on Greenbee Home insurance as of end January 2008.), it is vital people are aware of what level of protection they actually have.

Further analysis of the GfK Roper Reports Worldwide research has also shown that the look of the home is of the utmost importance, with 38 per cent of respondents believing it to be an expression of themselves. One in eight (13 per cent) felt their home was a ‘gallery’ where they can show off the things they’ve collected over the years. Those in East Midlands and South West are most likely to take pride in their possessions, with 19 per cent considering their home a place where they can exhibit their prized belongings, compared to just 7 per cent of those living in the South East.

However it appears that for some, the home has less sentimental value. Twenty nine per cent of respondents feel the home is simply a house, a place for sleeping and eating, rising to 39 per cent of people in their twenties. One in eight (13 per cent) feel their home is an office, a place where they do work – with those in the South East most likely to take work home (23 per cent), almost double that of their London neighbours (12 per cent), and 3 per cent of people in Wales.

It’s no surprise that people see their home as a place where they feel safe and secure and want to protect it and in turn their precious belongings, whether it be valuable and prized objects to display or important equipment necessary to do some work.

However research from Greenbee has shown that the majority of UK adults believe mishaps – such as an unfortunate party accident during an evening’s entertaining – will be covered as standard, when more often than not, this won’t be the case. It is vital therefore that people ensure the things they care about are covered by their household insurance, otherwise they may well be left disappointed in the event of a claim.”
