Introduction to Intelligent PDU
An intelligent PDU is a specialised device designed to monitor and measure electrical power, as well as regulate its distribution among connected components. While both can provide reliable power distribution to critical IT equipment within a rack or cabinet, intelligent PDUs offer several smart features to help data center. Power distribution units (PDUs) are essential pieces of equipment that are used to distribute power from a single source to multiple devices such as servers and switches. It plays a critical role in modern data centers by ensuring reliable power delivery to servers and IT equipment.

How to manage intelligent PDU power distribution units
Through a centralized management interface or software platform, data center operators can remotely access and manage power distribution across multiple PDUs. By providing individual outlet-level metering and monitoring, Intelligent PDUs offer valuable insights into power usage, allowing data center operators to identify. Managed PDUs revolutionize data center power management with real-time monitoring (30% fewer outages) and remote outlet control (40% faster reboots). An intelligent PDU is a more advanced version of this traditional PDU. While its primary function remains delivering power to servers, network equipment, and other hardware, Smart PDUs go beyond basic power distribution.
