Many softwares are available to control/manage remotly a collection of power distribution units. having all the necessary measurements and analysis on the power consumption, IT administrator is able not only to reduce the total cost of ownership, but to be able to make critical decisions regarding efficiency.

The PDU manager is capable of providing:

• A central interface to access multiple network monitored Sentry power distribution units.
• Global view of all Sentry power distribution units (Cabinet PDUs) and ability to view devices based on temperature, humidity, current and device status.
• Control all networked Sentry cabinet power distribution units.
• Control Sentry POPS (Per Outlet Power Sensing) Cabinet PDU on a per outlet basis.
• Power information including kW and kW-hour information for billing, power monitoring, trending and power reports.
• IT equipment power information can be used to measure the efficiency in your data center for PUE and DCIE, power efficiency ratings from the Green Grid.
• Using industry standard SOAP and REST API tools, SPM often acts as a middleware solution, providing power monitoring, management and control solutions down to the device and branch circuit level.
• Managing and monitoring alarm conditions.
• Power consumption for capacity planning.
• Maximize each power circuit by realizing current power being drawn.
