Data Center Energy Management
In April 2025, Schleifenbauer will introduce the EnerTree software and the powerful PDU 5.0. This innovative combination gives data centres extensive control over energy management, secure scalability, and is available at no extra cost with your PDU 5.0.
EnerTree offers real-time monitoring, comprehensive security, and an integrated interface, enabling data centres to work smarter and more sustainably. Combined with the flexible PDU 5.0, this solution elevates energy management to a new level of reliability and efficiency.
EnerTree is designed to seamlessly integrate with any data centre infrastructure, with robust security and scalability for growth. Ideal for data centres of all sizes.
Real-Time Monitoring for Maximum Uptime
EnerTree provides advanced real-time monitoring of PDUs, UPS systems, and cooling in critical data centre environments. With the ability to directly monitor temperature and climate sensors, you can make immediate adjustments to cooling systems. This prevents failures, optimises operational efficiency, and ensures maximum uptime. It gives you full control to minimise risks, such as overheating.
Proactive Reporting for Predictive Maintenance
EnerTree delivers detailed reports that keep data centre administrators informed of critical performance metrics. The software provides insights that enable IT teams to perform predictive analysis, helping to identify problems before they occur.
Visual Clarity
EnerTree offers a powerful visualisation tool, including an easy-to-use interface and models of your data centre. This makes it easier to understand the infrastructure and quickly make decisions during incidents. This reduces errors in incident response and enables faster implementation of the right strategies.
Efficient Asset Management for Improved Reliability
With EnerTree, you can easily monitor the energy consumption and performance of your equipment. This helps you identify inefficient equipment and optimise usage. As a result, you get more from your assets, increase the reliability of your data centre, and save both energy and costs.

Smart Capacity Planning for Future-Proof Designs
EnerTree collects valuable data that you can use for scenario analysis and predictive maintenance. This helps you make the right decisions during the planning phase of your data centre regarding equipment placement and capacity. This allows you to make optimal use of space and resources, leading to more efficient energy consumption and improved operational performance.
Seamless Integration with DCIM
EnerTree supports a wide range of protocols such as HTTP/HTTPS, REST API, MODBUS/TCP, and SNMP (v1/v2c/v3), enabling easy integration with your existing Data Centre Infrastructure Management software. This makes central monitoring and management of all your systems efficient and straightforward.
High-Level Security
With advanced security options such as Active Directory®, LDAP/S, AES 256-bit encryption, and SSL/TLS 1.3, EnerTree ensures the protection of your infrastructure and data. User-friendly access controls and encrypted communication provide maximum security.
Features
Real-Time Monitoring: Continuous monitoring of power usage, temperature, voltage, and more, with immediate insights for energy optimisation.
Automated Alerts: Receive instant notifications when thresholds are exceeded, enabling you to take swift action.
Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) Monitoring: Optimise your energy efficiency with precise PUE measurements.
Capacity Planning: Use real-time data to make smart decisions regarding energy usage and infrastructure capacity.
