The ability to monitor and manage power data from the rack and device level has generated steady and increasing demand for intelligent power distribution units (PDUs). In fact, global revenue in intelligent PDU is expected to reach about $860 million by 2021, a 7% increase at a five-year compound annual growth rate, according to IHS Markit’s most recent report on the rack power distribution market.
The connection with the growth of the intelligent PDU market and the boom in colocation and multi-tenant data centers is clear.
