Now with a stronger understanding of the fundamentals, it is time to discuss the latest PX intelligent PDU controller, the iX7™. The onboard local display allows for easy viewing, monitoring, and some configuration of the data. All metering elements across the PDU (inlet, outlets, and circuit breaker) are connected back to the controller, as it centralizes all the data. An iPDU controller is the center of intelligence, the brains of your PDU, it is composed of the computing, display and connectivity ports. The most intricate and important component of an intelligent power distribution unit (iPDU) is the controller. Before going into the details of what the iX7™ encompasses and why it’s changing the industry, it’s important to know the basic components of an intelligent PDU to help further your understanding.įirst, what is an intelligent PDU, and how does it differ from a basic PDU? A basic PDU simply provides reliable power distribution to IT devices, that’s it, while on the other hand, an intelligent or smart iPDU provides sophisticated features like power metering, environmental monitoring, and remote outlet control. The iX7™ intelligent controller is Raritan’s newest advancement in the PDU industry. And our pledge to keep our customers, communities, governments and nations safe from cyberattacks will be stronger still. Once the deal closes, you can be confident that the combined force of these two companies will be a whole greater than the current sum of its parts- yet one more example that together truly is power.
