This Server Tech Rack PDU (Power Distribution Unit), also known as a CDU® (Cabinet Distribution Unit), is a Smart Rack PDU that provides power metering at the circuit level, which means power metrics can be gathered and reported on a per cabinet basis.

Server Tech Smart Rack PDUs are a step up from the Metered PDU, by adding network communication, environmental monitoring capability, & built-in software.

This rack PDU can be remotely accessed via any web-browser, monitor environmental conditions (using external sensors), send power & environmental data via SNMP, & alert admins of exceeded thresholds. With the linking capability of Server Tech PDUs, Two Server Tech PDUs within a single cabinet can share an IP Address, drastically reducing the number of network drops needed. This combined with the Server Tech SPM (Sentry Power Manager) appliance creates a powerful combination allowing managers to accuratley determine power consumption at various levels throughout the data center.
