Dual-Feed PTXL/PTXM-HD16

Data centers today most commonly standardize on dual-power corded servers and network gear as facility managers continue to push for improved network availability. Regardless of the power input feeds, however, servers and network gear do occasionally lock-up and require a reboot procedure to bring them back to operational status. Data Centers aiming for five 9's availability (99.999% uptime) require a remote solution to reduce Mean Time to Repair (MTTR) to reduce down time and improved productivity and efficiency. The Sentry Dual-Feed Power Tower (PTXL-HD16) is designed for servers and other devices with dual or redundant power supplies. It combines intelligent power distribution, remote management, power monitoring and environmental monitoring into a single solution. The PTXL provides Remote Power Management of each power receptacle, individually or as a selected group, via Web, SSH or SNMP management. Users can individually control each power outlet to reboot network servers and internetworking devices. Or, power-off unused power outlets to prevent unauthorized power consumption on power circuit(s).The exclusive Outlet Group Control feature of the power outlet-receptacles from two diffierent power circuits allows a user to easily reboot a dual-power supply server or other device with a single command. Link an expansion unit, the PTXM, to each PTXL to control multiple power circuits with a single user interface. Input current monitoring measures the aggregate load (in amps) on each power circuit. A digital display indicator on the Power Tower provides on-site verification of the load, and the remote user interface screen reports the same current measurement.

Key Features

• Remote Management: Reboot locked-up servers and network gear via IP or out-of-band
• Power-up Sequencing of outlets prevents a power in-rush overload. User adjustable.
• Input Current Monitor: Power monitoring of the aggregate load on each power circuit (amps) remotely via the interface and locally on the enclosure.
• Authentication: Username/password required for network administrators & user accounts.
• Web GUI: Full configuration & control for managing and grouping outlets, user accounts and network settings
• Global Security Modem: Field replaceable modem can be added any time.
• Add a second tower: Connect a Power Tower Expansion Module (PTXM) to each PTXL to control up to 32 managed outlets (individual or groups).
• Outlet Grouping: Group individual outlets-between A and B Power circuits for control of dual-supply servers with a single command.
• Power Distribution: Dual 120V, 208-240V or 230V; 16A, 20A, 30A or 32A power input feeds
• RS-232 Control: Manage the Power Towers via an existing computer, KVM switch, terminal server or other serial device.
• Environmental Monitoring: Add temperature, humidity, water and intrusion monitoring with the EMCU-1-1
• SSHv2: Secure Shell for secure remote terminal
• SSLv3: Secure Sockets Layer-enabled HTTPS server.> Active Directory with LDAPSv3: User authentication with LDAPv3
