HP Intelligent Power Distribution Unit

The new HP Intelligent Power Distribution Unit (iPDU) brings state of the art management and control to rack mounted power distribution units (PDU) to prevent over provisioning of power from restricting growth in your data center.

Using the core and stick architecture of HP Modular PDU line, the HP Intelligent PDU provides monitoring of power consumption at the core, load segment, stick, and outlet level with unmatched precision and accuracy. Remote management is built in and even provides power cycle ability of individual outlets on the Intelligent Extension Bars.

HP Power Discovery Services with HP Intelligent Power Discovery, combines HP iPDUs, HP Platinum power supplies, and HP Insight Control software to control and automate power distribution. When you deploy new HP ProLiant servers, HP Intelligent Power Discovery automatically discovers those servers, maps them to the power source, verifies power redundancy, and makes sure everything is hooked up correctly.

• Know exactly what the power consumption is for every component in the rack with an unmatched level of accuracy of less than 1% variation
• Monitor and control outlets individually for the ultimate control of power distribution within the rack
• Dense rack mountable form factors to save valuable space in the rack

Ideal for...

Enterprise customers wanting to speed power configuration, improve monitoring to reclaim stranded power, and extend data center life

• HP Power Discovery Services with HP Intelligent Power Discovery can automatically discover and map servers to specific outlets, ensuring pinpoint accuracy of power data collected
