Intelligent PDUs

Benefits of
Intelligent PDUs
Reduce energy costs:

Identify high power consumption

equipment by using logs and port
monitoring
Find opportunities for consolidation
of underutilised equipment such as
near-idle servers

Spot and prevent potential

problems to ensure uptime:

Use alarms to quickly identify

problems and drive resolution sooner
Set alarm thresholds to spot
potential problems such as overloads
that could lead to power loss and
downtime

Use environmental monitoring to

identify overcooling situations where
temperatures could be increased for
energy cost reduction

Use logs to identify erratic power

consumption

Manage and optimise power

capacity:

Use environmental monitoring to

evaluate planned vs. actual
temperatures to identify areas with
insufficient cooling

Use real-time remote monitoring to

understand usage vs. capacity and
make informed decisions on
equipment additions and data centre
changes
Evaluate actual usage versus
design assumptions (using equipment
nameplate ratings) to understand true
power needs which may help increase
equipment densities

Efficiently control power functions

and resolve problems quickly:
Use individual outlet control to
remotely restart equipment or shut
down specific units
Use sequencing to safely start up
or shut down equipment and avoid
creating demand spikes

Intelligent PDUs
Siemons line of intelligent PDUs
provide valuable energy
consumption data while reliably
delivering power to critical IT
equipment. Each of our PDU
families deliver real-time power
information with varying degrees
of intelligent functionality ranging
from basic Metered units to
full-featured Managed PDUs providing multiple options based
on the level of data and control
requirements.

All of our network-capable intelligent

PDUs also have the capacity to
connect environmental sensors,
allowing temperature, airflow, and
humidity to be measured to further
troubleshoot and optimise data centre
efficiency.

Siemons intelligent PDUs may be

used as stand-alone units, or they
can communicate with third-party
software through common open
networking protocols.

Metered PDUs
Metered PDUs provides local visual
monitoring capability through a
built-in LED meter that displays
real-time consumption data.
Metered PDUs are a cost-effective
alternative to monitored or switched
PDUs when remote monitoring is not
desired, while providing a more
intelligent alternative to basic PDUs.
Units have environmental monitoring
capabilities through two RJ12 ports
to support two separately purchased
sensors directly, or up to 16 sensors
connected via splitters

The 3 phase and 60A units measure

current (amps) that scrolls through
each phase
Single-phase PDUs measure power
by scrolling through power factor,
amps, volts and watts
Alarm conditions with high or low
thresholds with notifications via buzzer,
email, or SNMP trap

Remote monitoring is established

via an RJ45 port for network
connection. Data can be
downloaded in PDA, XML and
SNMP formats

The LCD display provides the ability

to view power data locally. The
display is customizable for data
type, unit of measure and unique
device naming

Monitored
and Smart PDUs
Monitored and Smart PDUs enable
remote monitoring of power
consumption.

Smart PDUs
Smart PDUs offer the highest level of
monitioring by providing outlet-level
data collection.
Units have environmental monitoring
capabilities through two RJ12 ports
to support two separately purchased
sensors directly, or up to 16 sensors
connected via splitters

Monitored PDUs
Monitored PDUs collect data at an
aggregate, device- level, generating a
smaller quantity of information to
simplify management.

connection. Data can be downloaded
in PDA, XML and SNMP formats

The LCD display provides the

ability to view power data locally.
The display is customizable for

Switched and
Managed PDUs
In addition to power monitoring,
switched and managed PDUs
enable users to remotely control
individual receptacles by
allowing equipment to be
restarted or remotely shut down.
Switched PDUs
Switched PDUs combine total PDU
power monitoring with port-level
switching. They are the ideal
solution when port control is
needed but only aggregate
consumption data is desired.

Managed PDUs
Managed PDUs offer the highest
level of control and monitoring by
providing outlet-level monitoring
and outlet-level switching.

Software Introduction
The Intelligent PDUs browser-based software
can be accessed through the use of the units
individual IP address.
This can be utilised remotely to access charts, logs,
and alarms and directly interface with the unit to
configure and define settings, including high or low
thresholds for notifications via buzzer, email, or
SNMP trap. Data can be downloaded in PDA, XML
and SNMP formats.
