PDI Enhances Data Center Power Management Monitoring
Power Distribution, Inc. (PDI) has released the PowerWave Bus System Color Monitor. The new 7 in., wall-mounted touch screen, color monitor is centrally located between the end feeds of multiple bus runs and extracts power data from tap off boxes and end feeds simultaneously. The company’s innovation helps minimize total devices required to manage real-time data center energy consumption.
According to the Environmental Protection Agency, data centers consume as much as 20 times more energy per square foot than a typical office building. More effective energy consumption monitoring helps data center managers with capacity planning, but getting the information often proves cumbersome.
