Schleifenbauer PDU

What happens to your servers if the electronics inside a switched PDU fail?

But there is another question that deserves just as much attention: What happens to the connected IT equipment if the control electronics inside the PDU itself fail? A failure in the intelligence of a PDU should not automatically become a power failure for the connected servers. However, what happens during a fault depends on how […]

PDUs for NVIDIA HGX AI Servers

NVIDIA HGX is at the heart of many of today’s most powerful AI and high-performance computing servers! Unlike NVIDIA DGX, which is delivered as a complete NVIDIA system, NVIDIA HGX is a computing platform that server manufacturers integrate into their own AI server architectures. Dell Technologies, HPE, Lenovo, Supermicro, Cisco, GIGABYTE and other manufacturers build […]

Why replace a perfectly good PDU when only the energy metering is outdated?

In many established data centres, power distribution has evolved over years or even decades. Different generations of racks coexist. Different PDU manufacturers may be installed across the facility. In colocation environments, customers may also have selected or supplied their own PDUs. Technically, there may be absolutely nothing wrong with them. A well-built PDU can continue […]

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 […]
