Manage Power with Custom Designed Intelligent PDUs
Intelligent PDUs help with this process. By discovering how much power IT equipment consumes it enables areas to be identified where cost savings can be made. This could be achieved by powering equipment down at times where it is not utilised or identifying equipment that needs replacing with more energy efficient models.
Benefits of Intelligent PDUs
There are many intelligent PDUs on the market. Some will monitor power data across the entire PDU, whilst others can monitor power down to individual outlets. Others can even remotely cycle power to a given outlet. This is extremely useful if a piece of equipment locks up and requires a power cycle to reboot it. Instead of having to send an engineer out, the power can be cycled remotely from anywhere in the world via a standard web browser.
A concern with off-the-shelf intelligent PDUs is to get the features you want sometimes requires purchasing a unit that has features that are not required. EDP Europe provides an alternative by offering bespoke intelligent PDUs.
Custom Designed Intelligent PDUs
EDP’s iPower range of intelligent PDUs are all available with the option to be custom designed to meet your requirements, even down to the outlet configuration. Designed and manufactured in the UK, they are available on short lead times and without any minimum order quantities.
Whether you just need an inline meter to monitor power to existing basic PDUs or something more sophisticated EDP can assist.
iPower ACU PDUs are available as single or 3-phase units. Models are available that provide overall monitoring (IP1), overall monitoring plus individual outlet monitoring (IP2), the same again but with remote switching (IP3) and an IP4 model that adds sequential start up to the IP3 model. Connectivity can be via popular methods including web GUI, SNMP, HTTP(s), XML, IPv4 / v6, TelNet and Syslog. Each model provides 14 valuable data statistics − Volts, Amps, kW, Frequency, Power Factor, Internal Temperature, Peak Voltage, Peak Current, kVA, kWh, Kg/CO2, BTU/h, KJ/h and cost.
If you have a requirement you wish to discuss or would like to know more about intelligent PDUs then please contact EDP Europe.
