Emerson Network Power Introduces Integrated Rack PDU and Management Solution
August 2010 by Marc Jacob
With dense servers drawing more power than ever, and racks being packed with complex and sensitive gear, data center managers need to assure maximum computing performance and systems availability—while optimizing rack load capacity and energy savings. Emerson Network Power, a business of Emerson and Business-Critical Continuity™, announced the first integrated offering from its Avocent and Liebert businesses, bringing infrastructure visibility and management to the rack equipment level.
The Avocent DSView 3 and the Avocent Power Manager plug-in now support the Liebert MPX and Liebert MPH rack PDU product lines, delivering real-time monitoring, metering, alarms, notifications and management capabilities.
Avocent DSView 3 management software enables secure, out-of-band, centralized management of all connected IT and network devices in today’s often complex and geographically dispersed data centers. Avocent Power Manager software adds power monitoring capability to the access and control functions of Avocent DSView 3 software. The addition of Avocent Power Manager gives companies the ability to monitor and measure IT energy consumption, and determine costs and trends across all levels within their data centers and remote locations.
The Liebert MPX and MPH rack PDU systems offer industry leading performance and flexibility along with remote management functionality, including receptacle level control, power monitoring and environmental monitoring.
The product integration adds the management functionality of Liebert MPH and MPX to Avocent DSView 3 and Power Manager. Existing customers that have Avocent DSView 3 software now have the ability to enable access, control and reporting of the Liebert MPH and MPX product lines. Existing Liebert MPH and MPX customers have the ability to purchase Avocent DSView 3 software for single console access to their heterogeneous rack equipment.
The integrated product is available worldwide now. For more information on Avocent and Liebert technologies and services from Emerson Network Power,
