Power distribution unit
A power distribution unit (PDU) is a device fitted with multiple outputs designed to distribute electric power, especially to racks of computers and networking equipment located within a data center. Data centers face challenges in power protection and management solutions. This is why many data centers rely on PDU monitoring to improve efficiency, uptime, and growth. For data center applications, the power requirement is typically much larger than a home or office style power strips with power inputs as large as 22 kilovolt-amperes or even greater. Most large data centers utilize PDUs with three-phase power input and one-phase power output. There are two main categories of PDUs: basic PDUs and intelligent (networked) PDUs or iPDUs. Basic PDUs simply provide a means of distributing power from the input to multiple outlets. Intelligent PDUs normally have a module that enables remote management of power metering information, power outlet on/off control and alarms. Some advanced PDUs allow...
