A Power Distribution Unit (PDU) at its most basic level is a device that is fitted with multiple outlets. However, an intelligent and high power PDU is far more effective than a basic PDU. In fact, a high power PDU is not only capable of providing specific levels of electric power to storage devices, servers, and networking equipment, but it can deliver effective and long-lasting advantages to data centers throughout the world.

With each passing year data center power infrastructures become more complex. In fact, data is expected to reach an unprecedented 163 zettabytes by 2025, which means that data center operators must figure out how to a) support the additional data, b) reduce costs, c) increase efficiencies, and d) remain energy efficient. Fortunately, data center operators can address the latter challenges with the help of the advanced power metering and data management technologies found in Intelligent PDUs.

What Happens When Energy Consumption Leads To Unnecessary Spending?

Did you know that data centers represent an impressive 1.8 percent of the total energy consumption within the United States? As anyone knows, energy consumption is expensive. The challenge for many data centers is that future energy usage is expected to continue to increase (as will their respective costs). This challenge is further escalated by the fact that many data centers are ineffectively using what energy resources they do have.

All too often shrinking budgets within the education sector cause an array of IT challenges. For one large state university in the northeast, the challenge of a shrinking budget was threatening to limit their ability to use more than one data center. In order to overcome this challenge, the university turned to the Raritan team for a bit of help and of course expertise in data monitoring, security, and storage solutions.

What Happens When A Media Giant Needs To Allocate Resources More Effectively?

It's no secret that many data centers make large investments in space, power, and cooling. The challenge, especially when the client is a media giant, is to determine how to use these three resources most effectively. After all, the more effectively that the data center can use its space, power, and cooling, the cheaper it will be to maintain and operate.
