Raritan offers intelligent power and energy management solutions which allow Data Center operations managers, IT administrators and facilities managers to be more efficient with energy consumption, make more informed capacity planning decisions and improve operational efficiency.  Our solutions are standards based and seamlessly fit into your current infrastructure. 

The table below compares the features of Raritan’s three types of rack power distribution units (PDUs) – intelligent, switched and metered PDUs. As can be seen from the table, intelligent PDUs offer the greatest functionality with an emphasis on management and support for remote PDU-level and outlet-level switching. Switched PDUs support remote switching but little else. Metered PDUs support more management capabilities than switched PDUs but with only PDU-level remote switching.

Raritan also offers Power IQ energy management software that centralizes power control and analytics from Raritan's intelligent PDUs and a wide range of third party rack PDUs including APC and Server Technology.
