Reserve Your Seat TodayHow many times have you had to drive to a site just to power-cycle or reboot networking equipment that has stopped responding? It is not economical to drive to a site for such a small task. Imagine all of the wasted time and money behind the wheel - just to flip a switch once you get there.
To eliminate this problem, you can deploy a power distribution unit (PDU) to distribute your site's power to each remote device you have. In other words, a basic PDU is a power strip that turns one (or even a few) power inputs into multiple (think about eight per equipment) power outputs.
Remote power switch units are commonly used in server rooms, data centers, remote telecom sites. In summary, this device opens up a whole new world of remote management possibilities anywhere that you need to have control over the power to equipment without anyone actually being there on-site.
With 8 DC power ports that you can remotely toggle via IP, the PDU and RTU (Remote Terminal Unit) combo device can eliminate hours of wasted travel time - and prevent unnecessary downtime. It will be unnecessary to ever send techs to remote sites to simply reboot a device.
Equipment is connected to the Remote Power Controller and it connects to a power supply, just like a surge protector. It will, then, take the power and distributes it to each device connected to it. So, if one determined equipment stops functioning, then you can use the Remote Power Controller to restart it.
Plus, this rack-mounted power switch with built-in 16-point RTU provides monitoring capability in the same 1-rack-unit chassis. The Remote Power Controller can monitor temperature, external temperature, and current draw for each of its inputs.
What makes differentiates the Remote Power Controller of all other power switching devices if the SNMP capability feature. Especially if you already have a remote monitoring system in place, this feature is will be very helpful. This is because instead of having to turn the power on or off through the equipment interface itself, you can simply integrate your Remote Power Controller into your already existing network monitoring and control system.
With this SNMP-capable device, you can select up to eight different notification devices (any combination of SNMP managers and email addresses).
