Do you need power monitoring to manage an overload within your server room? Would your business be damaged by a sudden loss of power?

Doing everything you can to improve energy efficiency and minimise waste is crucial. And no matter what type of facility you have, power is critical to your operation. Unplanned outages, equipment glitches, and poor power quality can cost you daily. With most companies now relying on their IT systems for the day to day running of their business making sure they work as efficiently as possible is vital.

Power monitoring: helping to reduce energy and operational costs

Effective power monitoring should help to reduce your energy and operational costs; increase IT system capacity; minimise expensive downtime, improve power and equipment reliability and help meet your company’s sustainability goals.

Ecl-ips supplies power distribution units (PDUs) to help you manage power efficiently to meet the requirements of your IT hardware. At their simplest PDUs deliver the power required for the equipment within the rack, more advanced units can provide management information on power consumption and local environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity.

Offering a range of rack PDUs from Schneider Electric’s APC

We can offer a range of rack PDUs from Schneider Electric’s APC which are both switched and metered. The APC metered Rack PDUs provide active metering to enable energy optimization and circuit protection. They also generate power utilisation data to allow IT managers to make informed decisions on load balancing and include a temperature/humidity sensor port and ultra-low-profile circuit breakers. User-defined alarm thresholds mitigate risk with real-time local and remote alerts to warn of potential circuit overloads.
