Server Technology to Exhibit Data Center Power Solutions at Data Centre World 2013
By Rachel Ramsey TMCnet Web Editor
Data centers are the core of large businesses, hosting servers and equipment to ensure uptime, and in turn, the business’ success. There are many components that contribute to a successful data center, including routers and switches to help servers communicate with each other.
A well-managed data center ensures that a business never suffers because of one failure somewhere, and supports the growing needs of a business effectively.
Server Technology (News - Alert), a provider of data center power monitoring and management solutions, will be exhibiting its PDU Power Pivot and Alternating Phase power distribution units at Data Centre World, a data center conference and expo happening Feb. 27-28 in London.
“Data centers, because of the amount of energy they use, are an extremely hot topic today and that will continue for the future. The amount of data that needs to be managed, processed and stored is in hyper-growth mode – so the data centers are seeing tremendous scrutiny and importance in every type of industry,” explained Marc Marazzi, VP of International Sales, Server Technology. “The Data Centre World Conference is covering everything from big data, to power and power management, to storage to energy efficiency and PUE, which are all challenges that Server Technology deals with every day. We provide the data center power expertise, combined with our power distribution products and power management solutions to help companies deal with these issues and improve their power management.”
Marazzi expects to hear a lot about power management and energy efficiency. Monitoring and reporting on data center energy consumption has become expected in today’s energy conscious world. Server Technology offers the most robust, affordable and comprehensive data center power products and solutions in the market today.
Its PDU Power Pivot was recently introduced and features a 90-degree rotatable power cord, making it the ultimate PDU for multiple racks and facilities. It features the PDU Power Pivot input cord, 30 (basic, metered, smart) or 24 (switched) outlet configurations, single phase inputs, high native retention outlets, locking receptacles accept side-lock plugs on all PDU Power Pivot products and top-lock (aka APC (News - Alert)) plugs on the switched product, auto-flip LED (all but basic), reversible sequencing (switched - via FW), two temperature/humidity inputs on both the master and link units for a total of four and 50° C rating.
“It is the one design that companies can standardize on because it is a great design for multiple racks and multiple facilities because of the flexible mounting options. It doesn’t matter how the power comes into the data center – overhead or under the floor – this PDU Power Pivot is a great solution,” explained Marazzi. “We’re also excited about our new Alternating Phase power distribution units. This new innovation features color coded outlets that make load balancing easy. By the sheer randomness of how you plug equipment into these new PDUs, your power load in your rack will be balanced.”
Marazzi hopes attendees learn that Server Technology makes the world’s most reliable power distribution units – and constantly drives innovation in the PDU space – from the new PDU Power Pivot and its new Alternating Phase units to all of the new features and upgrades in its Sentry Power Manager power management solution, including the new predictive trending functionality.
“Our team knows more about data center power than any other company, and our products and solutions reflect that,” Marazzi said.
