Wi PDU - Necessity for Co-location
For the data centers which are providing co-location services, the ability to remotely monitor kWh
consumption per outlet is a necessity. Co-location rental requires outlet level kWh information to
estimate the energy consumption of each co-located rack space, or even each rackmount equipment.
The Wi PDU meter is designed with a 1.8” color LCD display. It provides a sharp and highly visible
reading for the local individual socket level reading of current (Amp), voltage (Volt), power (kW),
energy consumption (kWh), power factor, as well as temperature and humidity. With the use of an IP
dongle via a simple, secure web based GUI management interface, this allows remote individual
socket monitoring. The Wi PDU can be cascaded up to a maximum of 16 PDUs using a low cost Cat6
patch cord allowing access control and monitoring via a single IP address over an Ethernet network.
The real time monitoring provided by the Wi PDU can help users with capacity planning and
improving the overall efficiency of the data center. |
