Intelligent rack PDUs enable remote monitoring and control, improving flexibility and uptime across IT infrastructure. However, they also introduce a less visible challenge: every IP address becomes a potential entry point. The hidden risk of scale In many traditional deployments, each PDU is assigned its own IP address. At small scale, this is manageable. In […]

Remote Outlet Switching PDU is no longer just a convenience feature. In modern data centres, it plays a critical role in maintaining uptime, enabling remote management, and safely controlling high-density IT environments. Schleifenbauer’s switched and managed PDUs provide precise outlet-level control and integrate seamlessly with monitoring platforms via protocols such as SNMP, REST API and […]

Power requirements of AI servers | Data centre power guide. How much power do AI servers use? AI servers consume significantly more power than traditional IT equipment, primarily due to the use of GPUs and high-performance accelerators. Typical ranges include: • Traditional servers: 300–800 W per server • GPU servers: 2–10 kW per server • […]
