Direct PDU Power Strip

Remote Power Management and Control at Your Fingertips
The Avocent Direct PDU power strip provides IT administrators with a simple and
cost-effective solution to remotely manage the power requirements of their IT
infrastructure. Featuring an onboard Web interface, Avocent Direct PDU power
strips provide direct access over any IP network, ensuring administrators are able
to maintain high levels of system availability. Other features include individual
power on/off control, power consumption metering and overload protection.
Preemptive notification alarms alert administrators when user-defined power
thresholds are reached (via SNMP and e-mail notification). Utility software enables
IT administrators to monitor multiple Direct PDU power strips simultaneously.
Available in 8- and 16-port vertical mount (0U) and 8-port horizontal mount (1U)
units, the Direct PDU power strips provide:
Easy Manageability
The Avocent Direct PDU power strip provides a single, secure, browser-based interface
to remotely manage the power requirements of your IT environment. Remotely power
on/off unresponsive servers and data center equipment and monitor multiple Direct
PDU power strips. Data center administrators are warned when current levels exceed
user-defined thresholds, via audible alarms and alerts (SNMP and e-mail). Direct PDU
power strip manageability is made easier with utility software.
High Availability
The Direct PDU power strip helps data center administrators manage all the power
needs for their infrastructure at any time, from anywhere, over an IP network. The
Direct PDU power strip prevents current overload by turning on power outlets in
sequence and protects attached devices from power source overloads, surges and
spikes. Audible and visual alerts, when user-defined thresholds are reached, enable
administrators to minimize interruptions and increase uptime.
Lower Operational Costs and Increased Productivity
Effective power management reduces IT operational costs and risks while increasing
IT asset and personnel productivity. The ability to turn on/off power to individual
outlets remotely saves IT administrators from expensive trips back to the data
center and unnecessary downtime. The Direct PDU power strip current meter
and overcurrent alarm prevents power overloads and protects equipment from
damaging power surges, reducing downtime and data loss due to power overloads,
helping to maintain system availability.
Secure
The Direct PDU power strip features an onboard Web interface to minimize the
need for local access in the data center, allowing you to physically lock down
sensitive machines for greater peace of mind
