Avocent PM10/20 Rack PDU

The PM rack PDUs include 10 and 20 outlet models that support strip level metering and outlet level switching for remote power management and control. This family of rack PDUs includes horizontal and vertical models for a variety of rack configurations in branch and remote offices. These rack PDUS reduce the need for costly on-site visits or service calls to reboot or power cycle servers and other network devices at remote locations.

For a total solution, the PM10/PM20 devices can be used with other Avocent appliances for integrated IP access to the attached equipment along with power control for improved remote management. All Avocent PM rack PDUs include two RS-232 outlets that allow the creation of daisy-chains with up to 128 outlets. This chaining capability allows for multiple PDUs to share the IP address of the Avocent appliance they are connected to.

When used with other Avocent appliances these PDUs can be centrally managed using the DSView 3 management software for secure access and control across multiple locations.

Overview

Cyclades PM power devices are a family of intelligent power distribution units (IPDUs) that enable remote power management and control of servers and network gear.

When used in conjunction with Cyclades ACS console servers, DSR® KVM over IP switches and Avocent DSView® 3 management software, the Cyclades PM devices provide a power management system with easier management capabilities and faster problem solving by integrating system access and power control into a single interface.

All Cyclades PM models include two RS-232 outlets that allow the creation of daisy-chains with up to 128 outlets. Connect this chain to one of the outlets on the Cyclades ACS console server for the most advanced remote power management solution in the market today. Remotely manage your power infrastructure using HTTP, HTTPS, telnet, SSHv2 and SNMP and integrate the solution with existing LDAP, Kerberos or RADIUS authentication schemes.
