IT Advisor operates with these power values when calculating the most accurate values based on the data retrieval from external systems and product specifications.

In the application, power values are highlighted based on the accuracy levels:

Green	Advanced
Yellow	Nameplate and Basic
Red	No genome match

Advanced

Server Centric (Identical Match)
A power profile where the discovered server matches a server we have measured and the CPUs in the machine discovered matches the CPUs of the machine we have measured. This gives a non-linear power curve.

CPU Centric (Component Based Model)
A power profile where the discovered server matches a server we have measured, but the CPUs in the machine discovered do not match the CPUs of the machine we have measured.
However, the CPUs in the discovered machine do match a CPU we have measured. This gives a non-linear power curve.

Soft Profile (Identical non-measured Model)
A power profile where the discovered server matches a server for which we have vendor calculator information. This gives a non-linear power curve.

Basic

CPU Centric Auto-Derated Nameplate (Component Based Model)
A power profile where the discovered server matches a server we have measured, but the CPUs in the machine discovered do not match the CPUs of the machine we have measured.
However, unlike the CPU Centric case we have not measured the CPUs in the discovered server, but have a TDP nameplate value for the CPUs in the discovered server. This gives a flat power line much better than a spec nameplate value for the server.

Nameplate

A power profile where the discovered server does not match a server we have measured. This gives a flat power line representing the vendor provided spec value.
