Raritan made the announcement at AFCOM’s Data Center World 2009 conference.

“The Dominion PX-5652 PDU is ideal for racks with a mix of servers, including legacy equipment, requiring different voltages and outlets,” said Naim Malik, senior product manager at Raritan. “Raritan’s Dominion PX intelligent PDUs not only help IT and Facilities managers provide reliable power to servers, but also help them collect key power information useful for managing the data center for optimal efficiency.”

The new three-phase Dominion PX-5652 has 24 outlets, three 120V NEMA 5-20R outlets, 18 208V IEC C-13 outlets, and three 208V IEC C-19 outlets. It provides accurate individual outlet-level metering, including voltage, current, power factor, apparent power (kVA), active power (Watts), and kilowatts per hour (kwh) energy consumption, and room temperature and humidity information through optional sensors.

With built-in intelligence, connectivity and security, and a remote graphical user interface (GUI), PX-5652 out-of-the-box is prepared to handle key power and energy issues in today’s data center. It provides real-time information to help make decisions, such as where servers should be placed for optimal efficiency.

The PX-5652 is designed to be compatible with Raritan’s Power IQ energy management software, which helps analyze the volumes of device-level power data collected by Raritan and third-party PDUs and in-line meters. The analytics software tracks power consumption and generates an array of useful energy reports. The information can be used for what if analysis, to track energy consumption changes, find rack capacity, calculate carbon footprints and to bill back energy costs to internal departments or customers.

With more than 150 SKUs, Raritan’s intelligent rack PDU portfolio includes single-phase, three-phase, in-line, metered, switched, and other PDU categories in order to meet the needs of diverse IT environments, from server rooms with legacy equipment to high-density collocations equipped with blade servers. The PX-5652 and the rest of the Raritan intelligent rack PDUs are available worldwide from Raritan’s channel partners.

Raritan is a US-based provider of power and energy management, KVM and access solutions.
