Rack PDUs Outlet Density and Types

Posted on November 14, 2019 by Gento

As the need for power consumption per server has changed, so too have the outlet density and types of rack PDUs. In fact, in order to support the power-hungry IT equipment that seems to dominate data centers, rack PDUs have become increasingly more powerful. Today's data centers see densely packed racks, greater watts per square foot, and higher than every power consumption. Understanding rack PDUs outlet density and types is a vital to keeping data centers running properly, without overloading servers or creating costly outages.

Power Monitoring And Metering

Posted on August 28, 2019 by Gento

In the current digital age, it is expected that data centers will continue to rise in both power consumption and complexity. In fact, it is predicted that the use of data will grow to exceed 160 zettabytes by 2025.  As the age of big data continues to grow, the challenge for data center operators will be to discover how they support additional data, remain energy efficient, and ultimately reduce costs. Power monitoring and metering are the two key components that will help data centers succeed over the next decade.
 

Intelligent PDUs: More Than Just Power Distribution

Posted on July 30, 2019 by Gento

Thanks to emerging technologies and increased capabilities, power distribution has become only one component of effectively managing rack PDUs. In fact, rack PDUs are now available with additional capabilities, such as multi-level power metering and power capacity planning, which makes it easier for data center managers to effectively meet established SLAs. 

Intelligent PDUs also play a crucial role in eliminating periods of unexpected downtime in the data center. Keep reading to learn more about the true power of an intelligent PDU.

High-Density, High-Power Rack PDUs With Sensors

Posted on July 27, 2019 by Gento

To date, the data center industry has had to become innovative as they seek to respond to the increasing demand for power. As part of their innovation best practices, forward thinking data center managers have turned to high-density and high-power rack PDUs with sensors. This technology is designed to help data centers become "green," reduce their carbon footprint, and effectively respond to the ever-increasing demand for power and density of IT equipment at the rack level. 

Idle Server; What Does This Mean For Your Data Center?

Posted on July 27, 2019 by Gento

In theory, a data center should be a well-orchestrated entity where a certain technological harmony is achieved. Unfortunately, much like a seven-year-old learning to play Frère Jacques on their new recorder, data centers can easily become a disconcerted mess of idle servers. According to a recent survey by the Uptime Institute, approximately 30 percent of global data center servers are either underutilized or completely idle. To move beyond Frère Jacques to a beautiful symphony, data center managers must first identify why idle servers exist.
