How in-line meters saved our customer from a costly retrofit

Challenge:

Customer has recently built a data center using dumb power strips without any metering capability. But company's upper management issued a mandate for energy conservation and as part of that, the data centers had to report on power consumption at the cabinet level. Customer did not want to retrofit all 350 power strips for metered with Ethernet strips.
