Rack PDU Blog

You’re tired of maintaining the status quo while other data centers in your industry are going green. You’re ready to start using alternative energy, recycling heat, and implementing green infrastructure. So, how do you go about actually getting the ball rolling with green energy in your enterprise? Before you can ...

Data center downtime is one of the most expensive—and deadly—threats facing IT professionals today. The overall cost of downtime can range from thousands of dollars per minute to hundreds of thousands of dollars per hour, depending on the size and severity of the outage.

The 2014 infoTECH Spotlight Data Center Excellence Award recognizes the most innovative and enterprising data center vendors who offer infrastructure or software, servers or cooling systems, cabling or management applications. Server Technology was recognized for High Density Outlet Technology (HDOT), HDOT provides up to 42 C13’s in a 42U high by 1U wide device, the highest possible outlet density available in a network connected PDU. Manufactured with robust high temperature materials carrying a UL94 V-0 flame rating makes these outlets ideally suited for harsh data center environments. Additional features include high native cord retention that eliminates the need for custom and costly ancillary locking cord devices.

Server Technology's HDOT (high-density outlet technology) with Alt Phase makes it easy and risk-free for you to migrate to three phase power distribution. These PDUs alternate the phase pairs on a per-outlet basis instead of a per branch basis. In this blog, Server Tech talks about some of the major benefits of an HDOT Alternating Phase PDU.

Up until now, you were able to power your servers and applications using a 30A single phase, 208V power distribution unit (PDU) that contained two 20A circuit breakers. This power cord feeding this PDU contained two power wires and a ground wire. In order to properly distribute 30A of power ...

In part 1 of this blog, Server Technology discussed the critical power and environmental information available from Cabinet Power Distribution Units (CDU’s). In part 2 of this Solution Partner blog, Servertech will talk more about our power solution products and ways we integrate with other vendors within the data center space.

I always find it interesting that the power chain is measured and monitored in multiple locations throughout most data centers but is often forgotten once the power enters the data center cabinet. Especially considering that roughly half of the power used (or more) can be traced directly to the cabinet ...

If you have replaced a fuse on a PDU and notice that the new one has blown out shortly after, read this blog by Server Technology to find out information on how to prevent it from happening in the future.

In this blog, Server Technology answers the question at large- Does Servertech have any PDUs that can convert down from 208V to 120V for those handfuls of legacy devices that "require" 120V?
