Basic rack PDUs are little more than outlet strips. They deliver electrical power to IT devices and that is about all they do.
In addition to delivering electrical power, metered rack PDUs provide information about the power that is being consumed. It may be as simple as the voltage and the power being consumed by the PDU in total or it may provide much more power information and breakdown that information by each individual outlet. There is a wide range of PDUs that could fall under the description of a metered PDU.

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.

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.

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.

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.
