-- Winning solutions provide insight on data center power to improve operations efficiency and cut energy costs --
SAN JOSE, CA, (November 19, 2008) - Raritan today announced that its intelligent power management portfolio was recognized as one of the top emerging technologies at this week's XChange Tech Innovator conference.
By gathering power information at the point servers plug into power strips, Raritan's power solutions provide IT and facility managers accurate information and insight on their data centers. With built-in intelligence, connectivity and security technologies, Raritan's Dominion® PX PDU can determine the actual power usage of individual servers, a rack's capacity, and temperature and humidity at the rack. It also can power sequence IT equipment from anywhere.
Gary Marks, Raritan's Vice President of Sales and Marketing-Americas, accepted the award in front of a large audience of Solution Providers attending the conference's "Fresh, A First Look at New Technology" program, which was sponsored by United Business Media's Everything Channel.
"We are delighted to receive this key industry recognition for our innovative power solutions that are helping companies pinpoint problems before they affect service, make informed rack capacity decisions, and take steps towards green computing," said Marks. "We also are pleased with the positive response that we are receiving from partners on our solutions and on our new Power Connections Channel program. Our multifaceted program provides solutions, resources and support to assist partners in helping data center customers, who are facing a number of power issues associated with today's higher-density computing environments -- including energy costs, rack capacity and virtualization implementation."
Reducing carbon footprint with Intelligent Power Strips and Power IQ Analytics
Based on the simple premise that you can't manage it if you can't measure it, Raritan's intelligent Dominion PX PDU provides real-time, detailed information on both outlet-level and rack-level power consumption, as well as environment information, such as temperature and humidity. Granular, outlet-level power information can help identify underutilized servers as candidates to virtualize, problem hot spots or over-cooled areas, circuit breakers at the point of tripping, and racks with available power capacity to add more IT equipment.
Raritan's Power IQTM aggregates power-utilization data collected from multiple intelligent rack PDUs for use in power usage trend analysis and reporting. Customers can use Power IQ to generate reports on baseline energy usage, and track improvements on energy saving initiatives and circuit capacity utilization.
