Per Outlet Power Sensing in the Data Center

Monitor power for the outlet, device or application

This video discusses the features of the POPS product line and application in the Data Center with our Director of Product Marketing, Calvin Nicholson.

As companies move towards monitoring and managing power consumption in the Data Center technology such as the Switched POPS PDUs provide the necessary power information to evaluate current consumption and future planning. These units also provide control of outlets via a GUI interface.

Switched POPS intelligent power distribution units include features such as:

• Network Connection for IP access via a GUI Interface for SNMP traps and email alerts
• Serial Connection for access to units when the network is done
• Link Port for IP access to dual units as well as managing environmental
• Load Balancing for 3 phase units (on applicable products)
• Mixed outlet product configuration
• Manage outlet power via the GUI interface
• Outlet grouping for remote reboot
• Local and remote branch indication when a fuse is down
• Power cycling to avoid current in rush overload
• Per Outlet Power Sensing per outlet, device and application (via outlet grouping) in order to establish graphs and trending on power consumption, identifying comatose servers and efficiency calculations

For real world application of data center power monitoring read our success story on Aggregate Power Monitoring and Collection throughout Multiple Facilities. Our products have been implemented at companies across locations in order to maximize rack capacity and monitor power consumption. Implementation of the Switched POPS units provided a solution that this companies cross location power monitoring and collection needs.
