PDU
A Power Distribution Unit (PDU) is a device for controlling electrical power in a data center. The most basic PDUs are large power strips without surge protection. They are designed to provide standard power outlets for data center equipment and have no monitoring or remote access capabilities. More advanced PDUs offer real-time monitoring and remote access capabilities. View our wide range of standard PDUs below. If you are looking for tailor-made PDU for your company, you can count on us.

Basic
A basic PDU (Power Distribution Unit) is a simple power distribution system used to manage the power supply to multiple devices in a data center or server room. It is designed to divide the available power from a single source and deliver it to the connected equipment through multiple outputs. The basic PDU has a metal housing with one or more sockets or plugs to supply power to the connected equipment. View our wide range of standard basic PDUs below.

Metered
Metered PDU’s offer advanced capabilities for managing and monitoring power consumption, giving you not only real-time insights but also full control over your data center infrastructure.
Key benefits of metered PDU’s:
· Comprehensive monitoring: Measure power consumption at inline, outlet, and circuit breaker levels. These detailed insights provide a clear view of load distribution and energy efficiency, helping you make the most of your infrastructure.
· Integrated alarm aystem: Receive alerts for irregularities, such as overloads or temperature spikes, enabling you to respond quickly and prevent potential disruptions.
· Environmental monitoring: Equipped with advanced sensors to track temperature, humidity, water leaks, vibrations, dust particles, motion, and differential air pressure. These features help you maintain a safe and stable operating environment.
Metered PDU’s are designed for businesses that require reliable and precise power distribution. Whether your goal is energy savings, risk management, or optimizing data center performance, these PDU’s provide the tools to achieve your objectives.

Switched
A switched PDU (Power Distribution Unit) provides flexible power distribution with full control over each connected device. Unlike basic PDUs, switched PDUs allow the power supply to each outlet to be turned on or off individually, either on-site or remotely. These units are ideal for managing complex IT environments and data centres where maximum uptime and efficiency are essential.
With a switched PDU, data centre managers have full control over each connected device, enabling the shutdown of unused equipment to save energy. Switched PDUs also offer remote management and monitoring capabilities, allowing technicians to respond quickly to issues without being physically present. This not only boosts efficiency but also significantly reduces downtime.
Key benefits of a switched PDU include energy savings, quick device reboot, and enhanced network stability. Switched PDUs are available in a range of configurations to meet various data centre needs. They are a powerful choice for data centres and IT environments seeking scalable solutions with maximum control over their energy usage.

Metered and Switched
Metered and switched PDUs (Power Distribution Units) offer unmatched control and insights to optimize your data center operations. These innovative PDUs allow for remote outlet switching, inline power metering, and per-outlet or circuit breaker-level monitoring. With the ability to cycle power to individual outlets, you can enhance operational efficiency and minimize downtime.
Key features and benefits:
· Enhanced control: Manage power remotely by switching outlets on or off as needed. This ensures precise energy usage and supports flexible power management strategies.
· Comprehensive monitoring: Measure power consumption at inline, outlet, and circuit breaker levels for detailed insights into energy efficiency and load distribution.
· Robust security: The Enhanced Security Suite provides end-to-end encryption, a secure firewall, and support for validated certificates, safeguarding the PDU on public networks and controlling user access effectively.
· Integrated alarm system: Stay ahead of potential issues with alarms that notify you of irregularities, allowing for quick responses and preventing critical failures.
· Environmental monitoring: Equipped with sensors for temperature, humidity, water leaks, vibration, dust particles, motion, and differential air pressure, these PDUs offer real-time data to maintain an optimal and secure operating environment.
Metered and switched PDUs are a must-have for any mission-critical infrastructure. Their advanced monitoring and remote control capabilities ensure your data center remains secure, efficient, and ready to meet the demands of today’s dynamic environments.
