Easy metered rack power distribution units (PDU) provide real-time remote monitoring and energy management of connected loads in server rack and network rack solutions. The Easy PDU goes beyond the average power strip, offering customizable alarms that warn of potential circuit overloads before critical IT failures occur. Fully equipped network management interfaces enable standardized management via web, SNMP, and Telnet. This allows users to access, configure, and manage systems from a remote location, saving valuable time (Note: only for systems with a network interface). No additional tools are required for mounting servers in NetShelter Racks, allowing devices to be quickly and comfortably installed at the rear of the rack. The installation is fast and easy, vertically in NetShelter VX Racks or enclosures, and does not occupy any rack units, enabling the installation of more equipment in the rack. Vertically mountable units fit perfectly in NetShelter VX Racks and enclosures.
