MiraNotes Power Distribution Units: Dumb vs. Intelligent Power Strips Below are some of the reasons why more and more companies are choosing to pay a premium for intelligent power strips. Protect Existing Equipment Sequential power up, environmental monitoring, current reading, virtual circuit breaker are some of the features of intelligent power strips that prevent power surge, overheating, tripping of the entire power strip so your equipment remains unharmed. When first powered on, the sequential power up feature turns one outlet on after the other as opposed to all at the same time. This prevents power in rush from damaging your target equipment. With environmental sensors, you can remotely monitor temperature, humidity, water sensing and dry contact closures in your data center. Virtual circuit breaking is a feature that allows you to set power thresholds at each power outlet level so if overloading occurs, it will only trip the offending outlet not the entire branch circuit. Minimize Costs and Increase Server Uptime LED current reading (either local or via IP) can help you forecast more accurate power usage and prevent under utilization of each power infeed. Generate SNMP traps to alert you of various events, including current load thresholds to prevent overloading the power strip. Intelligent power distribution units can also give you the ability to remotely power on/off/cycle a particular outlet. Saves a physical trip to the data center, server room. Enhance existing infrastructure Integration of power + console server port and/or KVM port. From your console session and/or KVM session, power cycle/turn off/turn on target devices. Saves time and prevents costly errors, without having to maintain a separate database. Dual feed power strips. Either power up dual power devices or use it for redundancy for single power devices (the second feed act as a failover). 3 phase power strip for high-density, high-power demand equipment cabinets where single phase 120V don't suffice. |
