Avocent Direct PDU

The Direct PDU power strip is for IT administrators who need a simple and cost-effective way to remotely manage the power requirements of their IT infrastructure.

The Direct PDU power strips are designed for small to midsized businesses and have an on-board web interface for direct access over any IP network. Other features include individual power on/off control, power consumption metering and overload protection. The power strip has built-in alarms to notify the administrator when user-defined thresholds are reached via simple network management protocol (SNMP) traps and e-mail notification. The Direct_PDU power strip is available in 8- and 16-port vertical mount (0U) and 8-port horizontal mount (1U) units.

Overview

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.
