PDUs Direct offers Switched Power Distribution for Remote Power Management.

    RENO, NV, July 17, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- PDUs Direct offers state of the art Rack Power Distribution Units, with full remote management through its online store, PDUsDirect.com. These Switched Power Distribution Units (PDUs) provide users the ability to remotely manage their outlet power through network access or serial out of band access at the most economical price offered in the market today. Switched PDUs provide the ability to reboot your equipment, turn devices on or off, and monitor your environmental conditions and consumption without being on site.

The Switched PDUs offered by PDUs Direct provide both a web GUI interface and a command line interface. These allow you to fully configure, manage and control your power distribution at the rack level from a network connection or through a serial modem. No longer does the end user need to go into the data center or co-location facility to reboot a hung server. Now the user merely connects to the PDU through the secure web interface, reboots the device or group of devices with a single command and your back in business. This improves the uptime ratings for the network, limits lost opportunities, and saves you time and money.

The remote monitoring allows you to set thresholds for current draw, temperature, and humidity. If any of these thresholds are broken the PDU will send out alerts via SNMP and email. Again using the remote interfaces, you can quickly react to shut down non-essential equipment and bring the conditions back into operating limits, before circuits are blown and equipment is damaged.

PDUs Direct offers these Switched Rack PDUs at the lowest price available through their online store, www.pdusdirect.com. They also stock all the products offered, so every order is shipped out the next business day. Server Technology, the manufacturer, has led the PDUs market for over 20 years, and their quality level and imbedded firmware is the best in the business.

Like all PDUs Direct units, these Switched PDUs are steel encased with durable commercial outlets and come in a variety of outlet configurations with the power input cord included. Configured in horizontal or vertical designs, with 110V (NEMA 5-20R) or 208V (IEC C13) power, PDUs Direct has a power distribution unit to fit almost any application.
