Raritan’s intelligent power and energy management solutions allow data center managers, IT administrators and facility managers to be more energy efficient, improve uptime and find stranded power capacity. Our solutions are standards based and fit seamlessly into existing infrastructures.
Raritan’s family of intelligent rack power distribution units (PDUs) include switched, non-switched and metered PDUs and inline meters. Our intelligent PDUs offer the greatest functionality available in the market with an emphasis on environment and power metering, monitoring and management.
Raritan‘s Power IQ® energy management software is a powerful, vendor-agnostic solution that lets you baseline, monitor and report energy usage and environmental conditions at any level – data center, rack, department, equipment type – from a user configurable centralized dashboard.
Power IQ also provides centralized monitoring, email notifications, graceful OS shutdown, outlet control, powerful analytics of your costs, line capacities, carbon footprint and rack temperature.
Together, our energy management solutions provide you with the features and functionality to:
- Make informed capacity planning decisions
- Use power resources more efficiently
- Improve uptime
- Reduce capital expenditures and save on operating expenses
- Measure PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness) and drive green data center initiatives
To find the PDU that best fits your needs, see the table below.
