Intelligent rack mounted PDUs can be the centerpiece of understanding how much you know — and don’t know — about power consumption in your data center.
Back when power was cheap and managing how it was used was a low priority, managers could rely on nameplate specifications for IT devices to predict power consumption and determine the capacity of their data centers. In fact, some data centers still rely on this methodology to manage their capacity.

With great data comes great responsibility, and that is why so many government agencies rely on KVM to remotely access and manage their servers.
As data centers grow and cyber threats remain ever present, KVM technology has evolved to offer greater security, accessibility, reliability, scalability, and performance than ever before. Here we consider how each of those dimensions impact data center operations and why KVM switches are the best solution for remote access and control for government as well as other industries.

Power distribution Units or PDUs really boil down to two types: basic and intelligent PDUs (or more succinctly, iPDUs). Basic PDUs merely deliver power to IT devices. Aside from that, basic PDUs don’t bring much else to the table. iPDUs on the other hand, provide a number of innovative features that can help data centers manage their energy resources more effectively. Here are some of the most important features that set iPDUs apart from basic PDUs.

A common question I get is: what is the difference between the new Dominion KX III and the previous generation KX II KVM-over-IP systems? The short answer is: KX III is our next generation KVM-over-IP switch family that is compatible with the KX II, can do virtually everything the KX II can do (at the same price point), but with dramatically improved performance and support. The KX III is compatible with the KX II in terms of user features, the user interface, CIMS (server dongles) and CommandCenter management. Here are some other notable features.

Every Raritan intelligent rack PDU comes equipped with USB ports that allow users to perform a variety of amazing tasks. But, for some reason USB ports don’t fill most people with much excitement. The USB port has become the technology analogue to vanilla, or at the very least to claiming that a ‘thing’ is vanilla: bland, commonplace, and ordinary. It was developed back in 1994 by a computing giants roster that included: Compaq, Dell, IBM, Intel, and Microsoft; all of whom had the goal of providing an easier way to connect external devices to personal computers.
