Power Consumption Report Column Definitions

The data shown in the Power Consumption Report is aggregated to the selected Hierarchy level. For example, if you select Cage as the Hierarchy level, each row in the output report represents one day's data aggregated to the cage level. To see more granular data for each individual cabinet, circuit and meter, you must select those as the Hierarchy level for the report.

Cage Data Report

  • Date – The date on which the readings are recorded. Each row of data corresponds to the daily values for each of the columns.

  • Cage Asset # – The number generated by Equinix back-office systems. It is a unique number assigned to a specific cage.

  • IBX – The data center in which the zone is located.

  • Cage – The ID of the physical location where the cage is located.

  • Cage Serial # – The unique identifier generated by Equinix back-office systems at the individual cage contract level. It is tied to the Draw Cap of that contract. A Cage can have multiple Cage Serial Numbers depending on the number of active contracts.

  • Usable kVA – The Usable kVA is the total maximum allowable draw of all installed primary circuits in the cage.

  • Draw Cap / PEC Cap – The Draw Cap is contractual kVA limit established per Cage Serial Number.

  • Primary Draw (kVA) – The average kVA collected throughout the day at the Cage Serial Number level. Data is aggregate from primary circuits and power meters.

  • Redundant Draw (kVA) – The Redundant Draw (kVA) is the average kVA collected throughout the day at the Cage Serial Number level. Data is aggregated from redundant circuits.

  • Average Draw (kVA) – The Average Draw (kVA) is the sum of the Primary Draw (kVA) and Redundant Draw (kVA) for each day.

  • Daily Peak Draw (kVA) – Daily Peak Draw (kVA) is determined in the following manner:

    • Sum the draw across all circuits/power meters for each recording interval throughout the day.

    • The interval with the highest draw is the Daily Peak Draw (kVA)

    • For example, where there are 15-min readings collected throughout the day, there would be 96 readings in total for that day and the highest reading is captured as the Daily Peak Draw (kVA).

  • Average 30 day Peak Draw (kVA) – The average of the Daily Peak Draw (kVA) values over the past 30 days. For example, on May 30th, the Average 30 Day Peak Draw (kVA) value would be the average of the Daily Peak Draw (kVA) values from May 1st to 30th

  • Average Draw (kVA) – The sum of the Primary Draw (kVA) and Redundant Draw (kVA) for each day.

  • Average Draw kVA-to-Usable kVA Installed % – The ratio of the Average Draw (kVA) to Usable kVA Installed for the given date expressed as a percentage.

  • Daily Peak Draw (kVA) – Daily Peak Draw (kVA) is determined in the following manner:

    • Sum the draw across all circuits/power meters for each recording interval throughout the day.

    • The interval with the highest draw is the Daily Peak Draw (kVA)

    • For example, where there are 15-min readings collected throughout the day, there would be 96 readings in total for that day and the highest reading is captured as the Daily Peak Draw (kVA).

  • Average 30 day Peak Draw (kVA) – The average of the Daily Peak Draw (kVA) values over the past 30 days. For example, on May 30th, the Average 30 Day Peak Draw (kVA) value would be the average of the Daily Peak Draw (kVA) values from May 1st to 30th
