Avocent's Direct_PDU intelligent power products provide IT administrators with a simple and cost effective solution to remotely manage the power requirements of their IT infrastructure. Featuring an on-board Web interface, Avocent Direct_PDU devices provide direct access over any IP network ensuring administrators are able to maintain high levels of system availability. Other features include individual power "On/Off" control, power consumption metering, and overload protection. Pre-emptive notification alarms alert administrators when user defined power thresholds are reached (via SNMP and email notification). Utility software enables IT administrators to monitor multiple Direct_PDU devices simultaneously.

Available in 8 and 16 port vertical mount (0U) and 8 port horizontal mount (1U) units, the Direct_PDU power devices provide: Easy Manageability
Avocent's Direct_PDU intelligent power products provide a single, secure, browser-based interface to remotely manage the power requirements of your IT environment. Remotely power On/Off unresponsive servers and data center equipment and monitor multiple Direct_PDU devices. Data center administrators are warned when current levels exceed user defined thresholds, via audible alarms and alerts (SNMP and email). Direct_PDU manageability is made easier with utility software. High Availability
The Direct_PDU power device helps data center administrators manage all the power needs for their infrastructure at any time, from anywhere, over an IP network. The Direct_PDU device prevents current overload by turning on power outlets in sequence, and protects attached devices from power source overloads, surges and spikes. Audible and visual alerts when user defined thresholds are reached, enable administrators to minimize interruptions and increase uptime. Lower Operational Costs and Increased Productivity
Effective power management reduces IT operational costs and risks while increasing IT asset and personnel productivity. The ability to turn on/off power to individual outlets remotely saves IT administrators from expensive trips back to the data center and unnecessary downtime. The Direct_PDU current meter and over current alarm prevents power overloads and protects equipment from damaging power surges, reducing downtime and data loss due to power overloads, helping to maintain system availability. Secure
The Direct_PDU intelligent power device features and on-board Web interface to minimize the need for local access in the data center, allowing you to physically lock down sensitive machines for greater peace of mind. Is the Avocent Direct PDU the best Switched Rack PDU for your power needs?
