A Mathematical Proposition for Implementing 415V PDUs
Annie Paquette
January 20, 2020You should think about implementing 415V, 3 phase PDU(s) in your data center, and here’s why. This blog from Server Technology will show you the numbers so you see why voltage matters.

Want to Support High-Density Applications? Try a 3 Phase PDU.
RJ Tee
April 09, 2019Sometimes, the road less traveled proves to be the better route. That’s certainly proven to be the case with Server Technology’s series of 3 phase PDUs. Once it was a less common, new approach to power distribution in the data center, now three phase PDU(s) sales have spiked over the past three years. One of the early challenges of three phase power was load balancing. In the past, this meant carefully dividing power evenly across the three branches of the rack PDU so that you could draw roughly similar current on each branch. This only worked in a perfect world where the rack is filled with a single type of device.

Using a Horizontal vs. a Vertical Rack PDU
RJ Tee
October 19, 2017While use of vertical PDUs, or vertical rack power distribution units, has become nearly ubiquitous in today’s data center, they are not the only game in town. Since we have been getting a lot of questions lately about Horizontal rack PDUs, we thought it would be useful to take moment to pause and reflect on our counterpart from the other axis. Besides orientation, the most obvious difference between the two rack mount power strips is that of space – outlet space to be exact. Since the typical horizontal PDU fills 1 to 2U gaps, the number of outlets available is limited to the width of the rack or the number of U spaces you are willing to part with.

The Right PDU For Your Data Center Power Needs
RJ Tee
November 21, 2016At Server Technology, we understand that power needs vary from customer to customer. Some data centers require all-in-one power solutions complete with all the available bells and whistles, while others have more basic needs. But one thing that doesn’t vary is the desire for a best-in-class high quality power product. Another thing that’s for certain is that Server Technology’s award-winning power solutions provide just that.
