The power distribution unit (PDU) is the lifeblood of the data center. IT sits on the rack and provides direct power and circuit connections for all IT components to drive and transfer energy to the infrastructure.
The intelligent power distribution unit (PDU), also known as IP power supply, intelligent power supply, and rack-mounted power distribution unit, provides both power distribution and management functions.
Smart PDUs can monitor and feedback the current and voltage of various terminal devices in the data center and cabinet in real time, helping O&M personnel adjust the working status of various devices in time, providing first-hand information for O&M personnel to understand the energy status of the entire data center, and meeting the requirements of energy conservation, security, and cost reduction.
Functional Features:
1, high safety factor, cost-effective intelligent PDU with overload power protection and multiple circuit protection function, can prevent overload high temperature, lightning strike, power surge and other hazards, to maximize the safety factor of the product. In addition, the product can help users achieve unattended, save labor costs, effectively reduce management and maintenance costs, cost-effective.
2, real-time power monitoring, automatic alarm protection The product can real-time monitoring power supply voltage, current, active power, reactive power and frequency and other power parameters, convenient for users to master and manage the power equipment. When the system fails or the total load current exceeds the set value of the system, it will automatically alarm through SMS, email or phone.
3, Support remote control, convenient management can access the local area network or the Internet, users can remotely control the PDU from a PC, and the power supply of each device connected to its lower port can be queried, connected, disconnected or restarted, completely breaking the distance and regional constraints.
4. Flexible policy management Users can customize policies according to the usage of each power device. Based on the user’s policy management and monitoring events, the product supports centralized management and automatic cycle control. Several devices can be managed in one interface at the same time, and the power switch cycle can be set independently, which is convenient and practical.
5, electricity metering, energy consumption evaluation Intelligent PDU can manage the power consumption of power equipment, calculate the power factor, power consumption evaluation of power equipment. If the power factor is low, a large amount of power is lost during transmission and the power consumption surges suddenly, the PDU can adjust the power usage of the device and send an alarm to the user by SMS or email.
