Raritan introduces Inline-Meter Rack PDUs

Raritan introduced a new family of smart inline power meters to its
intelligent rack power distribution and energy management portfolio. The new
Dominion PX-3000 Series is targeted at datacenters that want to easily add
power, energy, and rack environment data collection capabilities to stand-alone
IT equipment or racks containing basic rack power distribution units (PDUs). The
four new Dominion PX-3000 inline power meters, as well as all of Raritan's
intelligent rack PDUs, come with built-in monitoring, security and networking
capabilities. The PX-3000 inline power meters are designed to be used in
conjunction with dumb rack PDUs to provide comprehensive strip-level metering
and easily deployed environmental monitoring. The PX-3000 Series also is
intended to power stand-alone equipment with dedicated circuits, such as large
network switches, storage arrays, and mainframe computers.

The Dominion PX-3000 gathers extensive power information, including data on
voltage, current, power factor, apparent power, active power, and kilowatts per
hour energy consumption. It also provides room temperature and humidity
information through optional plug-in sensors. To make it easy for datacenter
operators to view power activity, real-time information can be seen with a local
display at the rack and from a remote graphical user interface (GUI) via a web
browser.
