What Is Branch Circuit Monitoring?

What Is a Branch in a Rack PDU? A branch is an individual protected electrical circuit inside a Rack PDU. Each branch is safeguarded by its own circuit breaker or fuse and supplies power to a group of outlets. Rather than measuring only the total power entering the PDU, branch circuit monitoring measures each protected […]

AI Rack PDUs: Why Modern AI Data Centres Need More Than Power Distribution

Why AI racks require a different type of PDU? GPU servers behave very differently from traditional IT equipment. Large AI training models generate rapidly changing workloads, causing significant fluctuations in power consumption within milliseconds. Multiple GPUs can simultaneously demand maximum power, creating electrical loads rarely seen in conventional enterprise environments. A modern GPU PDU must […]

DCEM Platforms: Why Data Centres Need More Than Monitoring

Why Traditional Monitoring Is No Longer Enough? Not long ago, many enterprise racks consumed between 3 and 8 kW of power. Capacity planning was relatively straightforward and energy costs represented a manageable portion of operational expenditure. That reality has changed dramatically. AI clusters, high-performance computing environments and modern cloud infrastructure are pushing rack densities to […]

Is Your Data Centre Really Running Out of Power? Or Does It Only Seem That Way?

How certain are you that the available power capacity has genuinely been exhausted? In many data centres, power is still allocated based on nameplate ratings, theoretical peak loads and generous safety margins. That is understandable. No operator wants to risk running out of capacity when customers need to grow. However, this can create situations where […]

Beyond PUE: Measuring What Really Matters in AI Data Centres

PUE was developed to show how much energy a data centre actually uses for IT equipment. The formula is simple: PUE = Total facility energy / IT equipment energy consumption A PUE of 1.0 would theoretically mean that all energy goes directly to servers, storage and network equipment. In practice, part of the energy is […]

Zero Touch Provisioning for Rack PDUs

The Future of Automated Rack PDU Deployment and Power Management! What Is Zero Touch Provisioning for Rack PDUs? Zero Touch Provisioning is a deployment method that allows a rack PDU to be automatically onboarded and configured without requiring manual intervention after installation. Instead of engineers manually: the provisioning process becomes automated. The result is: For […]
