Dominion PX, the Raritan family of next-generation, intelligent rack power distribution units (PDUs), are the most intelligent rack PDUs on the market.
They provide the following: · Real-time PDU-level and outlet-level monitoring of power · Remote PDU-level and outlet-level power switching · Rack temperature and humidity monitoring
Dominion PX solutions help IT administrators and facilities managers: · Improve uptime and staff productivity · Efficiently utilize power resources · Make informed capacity planning decisions · Save power and money · Take a step towards becoming a more green data centre
You get control over data centre power in ways a “brick with electricity” simply can not deliver. And a simple firmware download will bring upgrades, new features and sophisticated integration with other IT infrastructure management solutions.
Access to electrical power is becoming more and more difficult at a time when the need for power is increasing to support blade servers and racks densely packed with IT equipment. The cost of power is going up both in absolute terms and relative to total data centre costs. And there are growing environmental concerns and regulations that will affect data centre operations.
Information provided by the intelligent Dominion PX is displayed at the PDU with LEDs and remotely through a Web browser. You can monitor the power in the lines, at each outlet, and even the status of the circuit breakers. And unlike other PDUs, PX models provide accurate information even when the power isn’t a pristine sine wave.
Power can be switched at both the PDU and each individual outlet. Outlet grouping allows administrators to control multiple outlets within a single PDU or across multiple PDUs with a single IP address. This is particularly useful when you power cycle devices with more than one power supply.
Dominion PX supports up to eight, automatically detected, environmental sensors per PDU, including temperature and humidity. These sensors help data center managers understand hot spots, efficiently and optimally cool equipment and manage the risks associated with static electricity.
Dominion PX supports SNMP for TRAPs, SETs and GETs. Security is ensured with username and password protection. Thresholds and alerts can be set for both power and environmental monitoring to understand potential fault situations before they lead to actual outages. |
