The new line is designed to boost data center efficiency.
Cannon T4 Inc. has announced a new range of smart power management solutions which aim to boost the efficiency of data centers while reducing wasted manpower by providing market-leading monitoring and control of PDUs. Up to 16 PDUs can be chained together making it possible to monitor and control hundreds of individual sockets using one simple, secure, web-based graphical management interface.
The Cannon Power PDUs offer a complete power management solution. Each PDU features a highly visible 1.8 inch colour LCD display allowing easily readable information for the strip, such as the current, voltage, power, energy consumption (kWh), power factor, as well as humidity and temperature. However the real power of the system comes from being able to add an IP dongle that allows multiple PDUs to be monitored and controlled remotely via a single IP address over an Ethernet network. This can reduce manpower and travel costs as well as help with capacity planning and improving the overall efficiency of the data center.
