Power IQ
Centralized Rack PDU Management, Vendor Agnostic Power Control, Data Aggregation and Grouping

Power IQ Hardwar ApplianceAgent-less Graceful Operating System Shutdown and Outlet Control: Reduces energy costs under normal operations and extends battery life during power failure.

Remote Power On/Off of Outlets, IT Devices, Device Groups and Racks: Operational efficiency.

Group Data Via IT Device, Customer/Department, Rack, Row, Zone and Building: Turns a large amount of detailed data into useful information to enhance capacity planning and energy efficiency initiatives.

Centralized Management: Consolidates names, polling status, locations, models and firmware for all your rack PDUs onto one screen and saves valuable management time.

Monitoring for Alerts and Threshold Violations: Increase uptime by becoming aware of incidents before they become problems.

PDU System and Outlet Naming: Common tool to set names in bulk or one at a time to save time.  Also allows you to save outlet names in an Excel® file for future reference and updates.

Collect Power Data: Outlet Current and Active Power; Line Current Draw and Available Current; Unit Active Power and Apparent Power: Use one system for information aggregation.

Collect Environmental Data from Temperature and Humidity Probes: Find hot spots in your data center.

User Configurable Polling: The data polling can be configured from 15 seconds to 24 hours.

User Configurable Data Retention: System administrator can control data retention period.

Bulk PX System Configuration: Saves time and improves accuracy for configuring common parameters for thousands of PX devices.

PX Firmware Management: Power IQ reduces the time it takes to administer PX firmware updates because it helps track and distribute those updates.
