Four of the Most Innovative Features of Rack PDUs

Posted on June 10, 2014 by Gento

Rack power distribution units or PDUs have come a long way from where they started. Where once they were limited to supplying electricity to devices, they’ve now evolved to have sophisticated capabilities that help data centers manage their power chain more effectively. These are some of the most innovative features of rack PDUs today.

Why Choose a KVM with BIOS-Level Access

Posted on June 9, 2014 by Gento

There are multiple remote access tools to make an IT administrator, Lab or Network Manager’s jobs easier.  Options include Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), Virtual Network Computing (VNC), and KVM-over-IP, as well as many others. But only KVM switches provide reliability you can depend on in the event of emergency. 

Why the Hybrid Rack Transfer System is Superior to Both ATS and STS Systems

Posted on June 4, 2014 by Gento

Lots of data center vendors offer transfer switches, but they normally fall into one of only two categories: relay-based Automatic Transfer Switches (ATS) or Static Transfer Switches (STS) that rely on silicon-controlled rectifiers.  Although effective in switching between power feeds, they both have inherent design flaws that hinder both performance and reliability – two areas where a hybrid rack transfer switch really excels.  But, to understand why the hybrid transfer switch is superior, you first need to understand the limitations of ATS and STS devices.

The Top 3 Features of Enterprise KVM-Over-IP

Posted on June 3, 2014 by Gento

Companies with hundreds, if not thousands of severs need an effective and secure way to manage them all remotely. Despite the popularity of software based remote access tools and embedded services over the past decade, neither provides the same level of performance and security as a KVM switch. It’s one of the reasons top government agencies and leading financial institutions still rely on KVM-over-IP.  These are the top three features of enterprise KVM-over-IP that make it the superior remote access tool.

Three Ways Colored Rack PDUs Reduce Downtime

Posted on June 2, 2014 by Gento

Adding color to a rack PDU may seem like little more than a vendor gimmick, but the reality is that there several legitimate advantages to using color in your data center. In fact, many big names in the tech industry such as Google and Switch use color in their data centers to keep track of the complex system of wires and pipes that is otherwise difficult to manage. Most importantly, using color has the ability to reduce IT equipment downtime. So here are three ways that colored rack PDUs reduce downtime.
