Avocent’s Power Distribution Units: Intelligent Power Management  
   
 

Avocent Power Management PM2000 & PM3000


Today’s economic forces are pressurising IT budgets and IT managers need the technology solutions they deploy to meet current needs, evolve as they change and continue to add value over time.

PM2000 & PM3000 intelligent Power Distribution units support outlet level metering and switching capability to provide DataCentre professionals the tools they need to monitor, reduce, and manage growing power consumption costs of IT equipment. Thresholds can be created to allow DataCentre teams to know before problems occur and minimise downtime caused by overloaded circuits.

The ability to integrate with the DSView 3 management software enables IT managers to have a consolidated interface to access and manage IT equipment and also the supporting power infrastructure. The optional DSView 3 Power Manager further enhances this by allowing historical reporting to track power consumption, capacity and cost across individual PDUs, racks, rows of racks, or entire DataCentres.
