As Rack Power Requirements Rise,
So Does The Need To Manage Power
To Each Piece Of Equipment
Many IT and networking centers are experiencing
higher load densities with more servers and
components packed into rack after rack. This has
created a clear need to find a way to monitor and
manage the power to all of these loads.
The Solution
Liebert MP Advanced Power Strips, with remote
monitoring and/or control capabilities for power
distribution at the load/equipment level, are designed
to support the growth in rack electrical needs while
meeting the new demands for remote power
management.
These products are a part of the Liebert MP Product
Family — a group of power distribution and switching
systems designed to manage power from the UPS all
the way to each individual piece of computing and
communications hardware.
Who Needs The Advantages
Of Advanced Power Strips?
■
IT and network managers who are experiencing
high electrical load densities and looking for a way
to monitor and manage loads at the strip and
receptacle in the data center or network closet.
■
Facility managers who want to control panel
board utilization and protect against
inadvertent overloading.
Monitoring And Control Capabilities
While local displays on the Liebert MP Advanced
Power Strips provide operating information, the key
aspect of the design is the remote monitoring
capabilities. Using the strip’s serial interface, you can
connect to the Web through Liebert OpenComms™
EM or a Liebert Access Server.
Liebert MP Advanced Power Strips are designed
to provide an expanding level of monitoring and
control capabilities for your entire network of
managed power distribution devices, including:
■
SNMP support.
■
E-mail alarm notification.
■
On-board graphing with OpenComms™ EM.
