Eaton is taking IT professionals on a dubious journey through the ages with its newest book, “A mostly untrue history of rack PDUs.” 

From the bronze age to ancient Greece and all the way up through the introduction of Eaton’s high-density rack PDU, the book reveals the unique role rack power distribution units have played at key points throughout history. Among other important non-facts, data center IT professionals and students will learn how rack PDUs were used to train samurai warriors in feudal Japan, served as key components of Roman catapults during major sieges, and were instrumental in the American Revolution.
