How Secure Is a PDU Connected to Your Data Center Network?

Modern intelligent PDUs do much more than distribute power. They measure energy consumption, monitor environmental and electrical parameters, communicate with management platforms and, depending on the configuration, can remotely switch individual outlets. These capabilities provide valuable visibility and control, but they also raise an important question: How secure is a PDU once it is connected […]

Custom PDUs for AI Hardware: Designing Rack Power for High-Density AI Infrastructure

What is a custom PDU for AI hardware? A custom PDU for AI hardware is a rack Power Distribution Unit configured specifically around the power requirements of GPU servers, AI accelerators, high-density compute, storage and networking equipment within an AI or HPC rack. Instead of adapting the rack design to the limitations of a standard […]

PUE Is Not an Annual Number: From Reporting to Continuous Data Centre Energy Intelligence

PUE remains an important metric for benchmarking, energy reporting and tracking data centre efficiency. The international standard ISO/IEC 30134-2:2026 defines PUE as a key performance indicator for data centre energy efficiency and describes its measurement, calculation and reporting methodology. But the same measurement data becomes far more valuable operationally when it is continuously available. Instead […]

Power Quality in Data Centres: Monitoring THD, Harmonics and Power Quality

What is Power Quality in a data centre? Power Quality describes the quality and stability of the electrical voltage and current supplying IT equipment. A stable electrical infrastructure is not simply about having sufficient power capacity. Deviations in voltage, current, frequency and waveform can also be relevant to the reliable operation of connected equipment. Important […]

The 5 Biggest Mistakes When Choosing a Rack PDU (and How to Avoid Them)

Many organisations only review their PDU strategy when deploying new racks or expanding existing infrastructure. In these situations, the focus often falls on the number of outlets or the purchase price. While understandable, this approach overlooks factors that have become increasingly important as power densities continue to rise. The rapid growth of AI workloads, GPU […]

Why Real-Time Rack Power Budgeting Is Becoming the New Standard in AI Data Centres

As a result, one question has become more important than ever: How much power is actually available right now, rather than how much power should theoretically be available? For data centre operators, the challenge is shifting from static capacity planning to real-time power visibility. Why Traditional Rack Power Budgeting Falls Short Most capacity planning tools […]
