Server Technology, expert in producing the highest quality rack mount power distribution units and power monitoring solutions, announced recently that all of its intelligent rack mount power distribution units (PDUs) are now Cisco EnergyWise certified and interoperable with Cisco's EnergyWise client technology.
Server Technology's intelligent PDUs, when combined with a Cisco network, allow device power to be accurately monitored, analysed and controlled to optimise energy consumption and reduce total cost of ownership by conserving energy at the data centre rack level. Server Technology's PDUs are the first PDUs to pass Interoperability Verification Testing (IVT), Cisco's process to ensure compatibility with Cisco technology.
“It's a seamless way to capture power information using your existing Cisco infrastructure, providing an easy and low-cost power monitoring solution that is simple to implement," said Darrian Bhana of Falcon Electronics, the leading distributors of Server Tech products in southern Africa. “When you combine Cisco EnergyWise with Server Technology's intelligent PDUs, it's easy to monitor the power consumption of every piece of equipment within each rack in the data centre using the existing network infrastructure. They're the only company that can report both the outlet information, through Per Outlet Power Sensing (POPSTM), as well as the inlet information, through Per Inlet Power Sensing (PIPS) feature - all providing the most granular and accurate power consumption information,” added Bhana.
“Customers can be reassured knowing that the PDUs have been pretested, reducing integration costs, accelerating deployments and minimising risk of failure. The power information provided by Server Technology's PDUs at the device level in conjunction with Cisco's EnergyWise Network will give data centre and IT professionals the information they need to control and improve their energy efficiency,” added Bhana.
