The Revelation PDU unit is an intelligent power distribution unit that allows you to reboot remote
servers and other network devices, and monitor power in the data center, through Raritan’s KVM
switches and Secure Console Servers. From the office or from anywhere, the Revelation PDU
unit will power on, power off, or reboot remote equipment, as well as monitor current, voltage,
power, and temperature.
The Revelation PDU offers the ability to recover systems remotely in the event of system failure
and/or system lockup. It eliminates the need to perform manual intervention or dispatch field
personnel, reduces downtime and mean time to repair, and increases productivity.
