Do you have access to granular data on power consumption and power quality? As we focus on improving both efficiency and sustainability of the data center, we desire more frequent or even continuous power quality monitoring. Intelligent rack Power Distribution Units (PDUs) now offer real-time visibility, reporting and alerting of power metrics and events to help ensure mission-critical uptime. The most advanced technology offers built-in circuit breaker trip forensics with waveform capture. This tool allows you to closely monitor quality metrics at the rack, like harmonics or voltage dips and swells. You can also define a threshold to monitor events, and visualize disturbances that may be distorting the PDUs power quality. This helps ensure your data centers rack power is running efficiently.
A rack power health check could save your company a lot of money. Data center outages are increasing according the Uptime’s 2022 Data Center Resiliency Survey. In the past three years, 80% of data center managers and operators have experienced some type of outage. The majority of these outages have cost over $100,000 in total losses. Compared to 2019, the outage amount has increased by 39%. Could your company recover from a major data center outage?
If you have ten (10) or more racks in your data center, you quality for a free rack PDU health check. The report is based on industry standards and best practices and covers all PDU brands. You will receive a high-level overview of your data center’s power infrastructure with general recommendations for improvement on installation, operation, and implementation of the PDUs in the racks and cabinets. Overall, this health check will keep your data center rack power running optimally to avoid costly downtime.
