Interworld Electronics has released the MPC-HD series switched PDUs from Western Telematic. The MPC-HD Series is specifically designed to provide secure, remote power control and reboot capabilities for high amp devices such as:
- Sun Blade 6000
- Cisco Catalyst 6500 LAN Switches
- Cisco Nexus 7000 Data Center Switches
- HP 7000 Blade Servers
- The MPC-HD series switched PDUs include two separate power buses; perfect for managing servers that require power supply redundancy
- Each power bus on the switched PDUs is split into three, individually breakered circuits; each circuit includes one switched IEC 320 C19 outlet and one switched IEC 320 C13 outlet, for a total of 12 switched outlets (two power buses, three breakers per bus, two outlets per breaker)
- The MPC-HD switched PDUs do more than just control power and reboot functions; it can also meter energy use and report findings in text or graph format
- Advanced metering capabilities allow the MPC-HD switched PDUs to measure and report Kilowatt Hours, Kilowatts, Amps, Voltage and Temperature
- When any of these factors exceed threshold values, the MPC-HD can switch or reboot power and promptly send notification
- The MPC-HD can also perform remote reboots and power shutdowns on demand, or when a device fails to respond to a ping command or according to a user-defined schedule
