Papillon is a total software solution to data centre energy and productivity measurement and management. Physical metering is replaced by a technique which uses very accurate, patented server mathematical power modelling. Every server type has a unique model which is over 96% accurate. Periodically,  using these models a master server calculates energy and productivity performance  of every server  with the information it receives from each of their agents. Unlike normal metering, this technique can measure server physical energy consumption, but also uniquely, consumption of individual applications, users and services.

All agents and master software has been tested to the highest international standards, by  an independent software security consultancy……..and verified as presenting no access or vulnerability threat to the integrity of the operation of servers under industry-standard stringent stress and penetration testing.

All Papillon software and related data remains totally behind the firewall of the centre it is monitoring and managing. External access is at the complete discretion of the management of the host site.

Installation involves no data centre downtime. Agents have a memory footprint less than 1 Mbyte and negligible computing demands. Network Papillon-related traffic is virtually zero, of the order of a few hundred bytes per server every minute.

Papillon installs in minutes. It is so simple that the entire system for an average installation can be accommodated on a USB key.

Papillon has an extensive REST-ful API interface enabling rapid integration with existing data centre DCIM (Data Centre Infrastructure Management) and DCSO (Data Centre Service Optimisation) tools and platforms and other information streams.
