A new awareness of the high costs and limited power associated with rapidly-expanding data centers has many small to medium sized companies seeking ways to upgrade their data centers in a way that is friendlier to the environment. Â Data centers have been around for a long time, and many are at the end of their [...]
A Power Distribution Unit (PDU) is a highly reliable, multiple-outlet power strip often used in conjunction with an uninterruptible power supply (UPS). In a networking environment, where devices need to be continuously powered, many in use today are fitted with dual power inputs to reduce the risk of power failure. Secure Console Server There are [...]
A switched-rack PDU is different from other kinds of PDUs as they are designed to conserve valuable physical rack space and increase the distance between the power outputs of the PDU and the power inputs of the devices that will receive electricity. Server Console Switch Switching (when used in reference to PDUs), denotes the toggling [...]

Console Manager Recent research proves that data center power usage will be the top concern facing IT professionals over the next few years, increasing the need for remote power management solutions such as remote console servers.  Just five years ago, the average power required for a single rack PDU was 2 – 3 kilowatts.  With [...]
If you’ve ever been in a data center where too many pieces of equipment were plugged into one rack PDU and the breaker tripped, you remember the turmoil that ensued. When that happens, both an immediate and a long term solution is needed; this is where metered rack PDUs come in to increase your uptime.
As today’s networks are growing, and the number of distributed networks and remote branches are expanding, there is a growing need for efficient console servers. And with the economy, it is becoming even more important to include capabilities that improve the response time to an outage or other problem This makes remote power management a [...]
Visit our website to learn more about a console switch. A Power Distribution Unit (PDU) is a device that takes high amperage and voltage and breaks it down to smaller, more functional levels. The units generally have an electrical input and several outputs for providing power to multiple devices; they are perfect for applications where [...]
