An introduction to the prospects of intelligent PDUs

   Intelligent power management has become an increasingly popular concept in recent years, and operators have gradually begun to pay attention to how to realize intelligent control of power supply.

  As a unit for realizing intelligent power distribution and control management, PDU becomes the executive scheduling organization of intelligent power management system. In fact, PDUs were introduced into operators' server rooms a long time ago, but the role they played before was more to ensure the safety of electricity in server rooms, and at that time, PDUs did not have the attribute of intelligence yet. With manufacturers such as IDCPDU, APC, Emerson and other scale launch of intelligent PDU products, operators began to introduce it into the data center or server room.

  According to Ricky Huang, senior engineer of IDCPDU, at present, the application of intelligent PDU is still in its infancy in the equipment rooms of the three major domestic carriers, with a coverage of about 20%. While in some foreign mainstream operators, this figure can reach 80%.
