Cyber Power Systems (USA), Inc. has launched nine new power distribution unit (PDU) products. Designed for use in data center, co-location, and environments with accurate power monitoring requirements, these new models allow active metering of individual outlets. This Metered-by-outlet (MBO) capability provides detailed information on power consumption.
Each CyberPower MBO PDU provides real-time metering of each outlet, each circuit when applicable, and the PDU as a whole. This real-time information on outlet-level power draw allows operators to measure and manage power consumption. Automatic notifications keep administrators informed about changing conditions, and remote management capabilities let them respond quickly, while redundant internal power supplies adds resiliency. Together, these capabilities help maximize utilization and support decisions in device management and capacity planning.
"Administrators are always looking for ways to keep their systems running effectively," said Tim Derochie, Director of Product Management at CyberPower. "Metered-by-outlet PDUs give administrators immediate information and complete control at the outlet level, which lets them make better decisions faster—and to take action right away, no matter where they are."
All MBO PDUs feature color digital displays that provide easy-to-read information about amperage, voltage, KW, IP address, and more. They include SNMP functionality, and can be configured for automatic notification to deliver immediate alerts about power events via email, SMS or SNMP traps. Administrators can control individual outlets on site or remotely to manage events such as reboots, load shedding, and controlled power cycling, and create specific user profiles to manage select outlets.
120Vac and 208Vac MBO PDU models are available for 15A, 20A, and 30A loads, and each new model is covered by a three year limited warranty.
