Public Data Center Power Auditor

2.90

Derivation Chain

Step 1 Strengthened public data center safety standards policy
→
Step 2 Mandatory data center power & cooling infrastructure audits
→
Step 3 Automated power usage auditing & efficiency Report generation

Problem

With the government's strengthened data center safety standards, public data centers must regularly report power and cooling efficiency (PUE), but small-to-mid-size data centers (under 100 racks) lack dedicated staff and spend 8–16 hours per month manually tallying power usage. Frequent changes to reporting formats cause constant rework.

Solution

Automatically collects data center power meter data (SNMP/Modbus) and visualizes PUE and power efficiency on a real-time dashboard. Auto-generates PDF and Excel Reports formatted to government reporting requirements, and sends alerts when anomalous power patterns (overload, inefficiency zones) are detected to enable proactive action.

Target: Operations teams at small-to-mid-size public data centers (under 100 racks); data center facilities management contractors
Revenue Model: SaaS Monthly Subscription at 290,000 KRW (~$218)/center (under 50 racks: 150,000 KRW (~$113), under 100 racks: 290,000 KRW (~$218)), additional Report generation at 5,000 KRW (~$3.75) Per Transaction
Ecosystem Role: Infrastructure
MVP Estimate: 2_weeks
