Alarms and monitoring
Thresholds can be created to allow data center teams to know before problems occur,
minimizing downtime caused by overloaded circuits. The Avocent PM PDUs deliver
accurate, real-time, current monitoring of all connected devices via the Web manager,
DSView 3 software or locally through an LED digital display. Users can set a current
alarm threshold that, once exceeded, will cause the PM PDU to sound an alarm, send
a notification message or both.

flexible management options
Avocent PDUs can be combined with an ACS 6000
advanced console server or MergePoint Unity® KVM
over IP and serial console switch appliances to pro-
vide faster problem solving by integrating system
access and power control in a single interface. Now
you can see the remote devices and control their
power using an integrated approach that allows you
to actually see the remote device as it powers
up or reboots. This integration provides instant feed-
back when critical issues are
being resolved remotely.

DsView 3 management
software integration
software integration
The DSView 3 software provides access and
control to nearly all equipment found in today’s
data centers. The DSView 3 software Power
Manager plug-in extends the capability of
the DSView 3 software by giving companies
the ability to monitor and measure IT energy
consumption, costs and trends across all levels
within their data centers and remote locations.

With the PM PDUs, this information allows a professional to look at individual devices, a
rack of equipment or a row of equipment and group items together to view overall con-
sumptions, capacity and costs across many locations or just a single device.

sumptions, capacity and costs across many locations or just a single device.
Measure both power and energy consumption
Many PDUs measure the available current at the strip level to ensure the integrity of
power to the attached equipment. The PM PDUs also provide additional measurements
in order to measure the energy consumption at the strip level (PM 1000 PDU models)
or down to individual outlets (PM 2000 and PM 3000 PDU models). This energy
measurement allows companies to implement chargeback policies, more accurately
budget for expansion and measure the financial impacts of any changes.

Environmental sensor support
To get even more capabilities out of the PM PDUs, environmental sensors can be
added to measure conditions at several locations within a rack. These sensors include
chaining capabilities to enable a single PDU to support up to six sensors in order to
measure temperature and humidity. Thresholds and alerts allow early detection to avoid
downtime and equipment damage.
