7 Reasons to Deploy IPDUs with Sunbird DCIM

Hi Friend,

Outlet-metered intelligent rack PDUs provide device-level data that offers a granular view of power and energy usage and capacity in the data center.

Sunbird’s DCIM software complements iPDUs by collecting, storing, alerting, modeling, and reporting on the data they generate. With an aggregated view and centralized control of hundreds or thousands of iPDUs, data center professionals can make more informed decisions regarding uptime, sustainability, costs, and more.

7 advantages of deploying iPDUs with Sunbird DCIM include:

1. Improved uptime. More proactive power and environmental monitoring, early problem detection, and real-time information that enables better uptime.
2. Increased energy efficiency. More informed energy management decisions to reduce wasted energy, save money, and support corporate sustainability initiatives.
3. Higher productivity. Save time by automatically collecting and storing measurements, remotely controlling power, and automating routine tasks.
4. Increased utilization of power capacity. More informed power capacity planning to fully utilize existing resources to defer the need to add capacity.
5. Cost savings. Inform cost-saving strategies that improve efficiency, optimize resource utilization, and lower operational costs.
6. Extended lifespan of equipment. Keep devices operating within optimal conditions and track detailed information about them throughout their entire life.
7. Easier reporting. Simplify monitoring and reporting, making it easier to support regulatory requirements and adhere to industry standards.

Want to learn more? Read the full eBook, 7 Reasons Why You Need Intelligent Rack PDUs and Sunbird DCIM, and see how you can get the most out of your iPDUs by pairing them with a complete second-generation DCIM.
