See what sets the hybrid rack transfer switch apart.

An excerpt from CRN’s award page notes:

Who needs UPSes when there's Raritan's Intelligent Rack Transfer Switch? According to the data center hardware maker, the PX3TS samples current 4,800 times a second and in the event of a power failure, transfers an electrical load within 8 milliseconds, keeping the rack up and running. According to Raritan, the PX3TS is intended to protect cloud computing and other data center infrastructures that operate on a single power supply. The unit employs a combination of electromechanical relays and SCR technologies to protect computing workloads and also provides remote power metering for energy usage monitoring and capacity planning.
