Low cost entry to Power Management with Metered Power Distribution
PDUs Direct offers industrial grade Rack Power Distribution Units with local metering through its online store, pdusdirect.com. These Metered Power Distribution Units (PDUs) provide users an economical entry into power management at the rack level. Using highly accurate power readings, the Metered PDUs will help avoid circuit overloads, control costs, and manage capacity with a proven power solution.
According to the Gartner Group, power consumption and management is one of the top concerns for data center managers across the country. Metered PDUs help identify circuits at operational limits, allowing mangers to proactively redistribute equipment and avoid catastrophic power losses caused by circuit overloads. At the same time, Metered PDUs point out circuits with available capacity to add additional equipment. This allows you to use fewer power whips, saving you money and reducing clutter beneath the raised floor.
In some locations, adding metered PDUs, as a part of your "Green" initiatives, can make you eligible for rebates and credits with your local utilities. There are a variety of rebate and credit programs promoting proactive power management. Check with your local utility for program standards. Most require a site assessment by utility teams and provide rebates based on reductions kilowatt hours. For example Texas offers a demand rebate of $150/kW and $0.0175/kWh. High end management equipment and software can cost in the thousands. PDUs Direct offers a lost cost entry level product that will allow even small operations to take advantage of these programs, and actively manage their power.
Like all PDUs Direct units, these metered PDUs are steel encased with durable commercial outlets and come in a variety of outlet configurations with the power input cord included. An LED display shows, in real time, the amps drawn through the input circuit. Configured in horizontal or vertical designs, with 110V (NEMA 5-20R) or 208V (IEC C13) power, PDUs Direct has a power distribution unit to fit almost any application.
