The Avocent SPC power management over IP solution enables you to securely monitor and manage power to your business-critical servers and other data center network devices. Using Avocent DSView 3 management software, you can remotely reboot or power cycle servers and network devices from any location using TCP/IP connectivity. Combined with Avocent DSR KVM switches and the ACS appliance, the SPC power control device delivers advanced power management and security. The SPC device provides enhanced security options, including password protection, port-specifi c access rights and port groupings. DSR KVM switches and ACS appliances add authentication and multiple levels of data encryption for advanced user security. 
Avocent SPC Switched PDU Application Diagram
Avocent SPC Features: - Integrated Power Management- Access to SPC power control device from DSView 3 software provides built-in support for servers with multiple power supplies and reduces the possibility of inadvertently switching off the wrong server/target device
- Higher Amperage- The SPC device with 208V @ 30 Amp doubles the power load delivered to the rack without increasing the electrical infrastructure
- On/Off Power Indicators- With DSView 3 software, easily view the SPC device's power outlet on/off status without entering the server room/data center
- Power-Up Sequencing- Avoid branch circuit overload (often caused by inrush current) when turning on the SPC device
- Naming Associations- Create an association between a server name and specific SPC outlet port(s)
- Redundant Power Supply Configurations- Single click and connect power control of dual/multiple target devices that are powered from independent branch circuits and power sources
- Power Monitoring- Dynamically measures and reports total input current load and indicates on/off state for every port
- Local and Remote Power Load Measurement- Hot plug additional SPC devices without the risk of overloading the branch circuit
Avocent SPC Software Integration The latest version of DSView 3 software integrates power control into seamless click and connect access. DSView 3 software lets you easily associate server names with actual power outlet ports on the SPC power control device. This feature eliminates the need to memorize the DSR/ACS/SPC appliances and SPC port combinations of the target server or the assigned user permissions. DSView 3 software also allows grouping of servers with dual power supplies connected to two power circuits. DSView 3 software separates the power supplies on different power sources for true redundancy and control of dual-powered servers. The MergePoint service processor management appliances also ease the deployment and management of these technologies. With easy-to-use IPMI provisioning capabilities and an autodiscovery mechanism for server management technologies within the network, the MergePoint 5300 series appliances are ideal for enterprise data centers as well as for high performance computing (HPC) and other clustering environments.
