PDUs / iPDUs

What are PDUs?
Power supply, distribution and monitoring systems are among the most important elements in any server cabinet. Whether you require a simple single or three-phase power distribution unit or an intelligent, switchable, tele-monitored iPDU (Intelligent PDU) that provides detailed information, you will achieve better control over your data center through:

• Situation-based decisions for capacity planning
• More efficient use of the available energy
• Improved server availability and reliability
• Higher packaging density per cabinet
• Reduced investment costs and savings on operating costs
• Real-time measurement of PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness)
