CyberPower launches Ultra-Advanced Power Distribution Units for IT in Australia

CyberPower has launched its Ultra-Advanced Power Distribution Units (PDU) for IT applications in Australia. The advanced PDUs provide reliable power distribution with a colour configurable LCD display and real-time remote and local monitoring for all connected equipment making them ideal for server rooms and IT solutions in corporate, education, government and back offices. 

CyberPower Systems Oceania GM ANZ Robert Hartvigsen said, "CyberPower offers six types of PDU products with their functions ranging from basic power distribution to advanced power monitoring and management. These PDU solutions complement our existing products, such as UPS and rack enclosures, enhancing the functionality and reliability of IT infrastructure to meet the specific needs of data centres and IT servers in Australia. As such they provide true peace of mind in the form of a cost effective, reliable power supply."

A PDU is a device with multiple outlets. It is designed to be installed in a standard rack, where its main function is to distribute reliable network power from a utility power source or an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to multiple devices. Besides basic power functionalities, some advanced PDUs also have a built-in Ethernet module, which works with PowerPanel® Power Management Software for real-time monitoring.

PowerPanel Management Software can also perform power management and system graceful shutdown. This software has achieved VMware Ready™ status and is compatible with VMware ESXi. It also supports Citrix XenServer and Microsoft Hyper-V. The software is easy to deploy and use offering real-time power usage effectiveness (PUE), dynamic dashboards, periodic reports and instant alarms to keep IT solutions and data centres up and running.

The multi-function, user configurable LCD readout enables users to easily manage and monitor the entire system and also enables users to change the colours of the LCD screens for convenient classification and identification of PDUs based on their applications. The featured hot-swappable LCD design allows users to safely remove and replace LCD panels without having to shut down the system for ultra-convenient maintenance.

Heat and power overloads are also a problem that are easily dealt with by these clever PDUs.

The PDU's overload protection feature can automatically cut off any device's power when the loading exceeds the product's limit and thus prevents and minimises damage caused by overcurrent.

Also, in a data centre products are often exposed to high temperatures, so it is important for the products to be able to withstand being "over" temperature. By using CyberPower PDUs products are able to work under high temperatures (45-60°C) and still maintain optimal system operation.

The CyberPower PDUs also provide particularly trustworthy statistics including values on voltages, currents and watts with ±1% measurement accuracy. They also feature ultra-low power consumption.

Finally, the CyberPower Advanced Power Distribution Units also boast an environmental sensor which connects via the Ethernet module and provides real-time temperature and humidity information allowing users to monitor the environmental conditions.

Robert Hartvigsen concluded, "As a company grows, the demand for more power and IT equipment will continue to rise. It is essential to find a power solution that can provide more electrical outlets catering to the increasing power needs. The power usage effectiveness (PUE) metric has become an important measurement standard for reporting energy performance of data centres. An advanced PDU can provide reliable, critical and accurate power measurement data and precise individual outlet metering that can help in the measuring of energy efficiency in IT applications and data centres."
