Power Distribution Units
Data centers, networking environments, and any place that needs electricity distributed properly and efficiently to multiple devices will have power distribution units to distribute network power. These come in a very wide range of types: some that are very basic and just have a few extra outlets, to a variety of increasingly more complex control features, for example, to allow global system administrators to pay more attention to and control power management where it mostly counts—like in a data center. Basic PDUs provide standard electrical outlets without monitoring or remote access capabilities, while more advanced units offer real-time monitoring and remote access capabilities.
Created for installation in network racks and cabinets, PDUs often possess multiple sockets to satisfy the network power necessities of rack-mounted equipment like servers, switches, routers, and other network appliances. This setup not only tends to simplify the process of power administration but also tends to enhance safety around and reliability of electrical supply to equipment and, therefore, to the network by incorporating such features as surge protection, circuit breakers, and filtering to protect the electrical supply from wobbles and spikes and to keep the power supply from creating electrical interference.
