Conclusion
With increasing data center densities, a single rack can now support the
same computing capacity that used to require an entire room. Visibility
into conditions in the rack can help prevent many of the most common
threats to rack-based equipment, including interruptions to the power
source, accidental or malicious tampering, and the presence of water,
smoke and excess humidity or temperature.
Today’s intelligent rack PDUs can provide the best view of IT power
consumption inside the rack. They also can provide a level of monitoring
and control capabilities that were unheard of just a few short years
ago. However, to ensure the technology provides the benets of a high
availability solution, it’s important that considerations are given to the
design of the rack PDU, the capabilities it offers, its ability to provide
faster Mean Time To Repair, and the level of exibility it provides.
