From Cost Centre to Strategic Saving! In many data centres, power distribution doesn’t get the attention it deserves. A Power Distribution Unit (PDU) is often seen as a standard component, something that simply needs to work. But it’s precisely here that major potential lies for cost savings, sustainability, and operational efficiency. The Schleifenbauer PDU 5.0 […]

 From “Power Strip” to Strategic Instrument For decades, the PDU was considered a commodity product, a necessary component to distribute power in a rack. In high-density environments, however, power distribution has become a decisive factor for availability and efficiency. PDU 5.0 elevates the role of the PDU through: • Granular measurement: real-time monitoring per input, […]

Why retrofit instead of replace? Data centres are designed to last for years, but technological and regulatory demands change rapidly. Many legacy PDUs lack the advanced metering capabilities that are now essential for efficiency, sustainability and high-density workloads such as AI and HPC. • Replacing PDUs means downtime, complex logistics and high costs. • Retrofitting […]

Designed around project requirements! When a customer needs a PDU, a few parameters are always crucial: the required current (amperes), the number of phases, the level of intelligence, the number of outlets, and the type of circuit protection. These specifications are determined during the quotation process – based on the tender text, the customer’s requirements, […]
