"It's very important that we monitor all the environmental indicators in each remote location. The PX provides some of that just by letting us know what kind of power is being consumed in a room, and it helps identify areas where we can conserve. Green computing, through more efficient power and cooling, is something weve definitely been moving towards..."

"Power IQ is a great tool to centralize and manage all the PX devices. I can go to one single console using one IP address, whether Im in the office or Im coming in remotely, and look at the statistics of each of my devices in all my locations. So, I dont have to remember IP addresses. I dont have to remember which office to go to. I go to the one console, and I can get to every device that I need. I can do mass firmware upgrades for all my PX devices, whereas before I would have to individually go on each device, upload the firmware, do the process, reboot it and I would have to do that hundreds of times. Im all for centralization and having one single point of access to get to all the devices. It makes it easier for me and for the people that work for me."

"The small server space at each branch location coupled with employees without IT background results in difficulties in performing certain tasks on the computer hardware. The Dominion PX power management system will help us in that regard."

"Raritan's solution allowed us to develop a go-to-market strategy that incorporates billing for actual power usage, instead of the typical co-location model of flat-rate energy billing. This has provided a cost significant advantage for customers in our co-location facility," said Dustin Phillips, who is in charge of ARCHER's co-location operations."

"We use Power IQ to generate monthly energy-trend reports that provide customers with actual usage levels by server and IT device," added Phillips. "We're looking forward to the new release of Power IQ 1.4 because it will enable us to provide our customers the ability to run their own reports and to securely power cycle their equipment via a Web interface. Our customers will be able to take a more active role in managing their servers and their energy utilization."

"In short, the array of options and configuration parameters available in the PX is staggering for a PDU."

Four Top IT publications use PX to test server energy efficiency Network World recently used the PX to evaluate the energy usage of Windows and Linux servers in a major green “shoot-out” feature article.  To learn more on how the PX was used, the editor posted his methodology at http://www.networkworld.com/research/2008/060908-green-how.html

"The University of Canterbury is commissioning a new, lights-out datacentre, which will be fully operational by the end of the year after nine months of construction…Datacentre manager Richard Hanschu says that reducing heat and energy requirements were partly behind the move but, primarily, the new centre was built for risk mitigation rather than cost savings. The former machine room had insufficient cooling and fire protection….The datacentre’s lights-out management infrastructure is based on Raritan rack mount power distribution units (PDUs) and IP keyboard, video and mouse controlled over the network."

"Data centers are often designed (or overdesigned) to handle the highest load that might come their way, which really doesn’t jibe with the green ideal. …The bottom line is NOCs don't react to power consumption and heat dissipation in direct correlation to a server's needs, and design practices tend to sway settings to the highest consumption/chilling needed, rather than reacting in complete harmony with rapid power consumption characteristics dictated by green principles."

"We use Power IQ to generate monthly energy-trend reports that provide customers with actual usage levels by server and IT device," added Phillips. "We're looking forward to the new release of Power IQ 1.4 because it will enable us to provide our customers the ability to run their own reports and to securely power cycle their equipment via a Web interface. Our customers will be able to take a more active role in managing their servers and their energy utilization."

"Somerset, N.J.- based Raritan introduced a new power distribution unit, the Dominion PX…It’s super slick. Controlled remotely via a Web browser or command line interface, the Dominion PX meters, in real time, power at both the PDU level and outlet level and supports environmental sensors to monitor temperature and humidity at the rack. This is huge for data center managers trying to monitor energy use - the first step to managing energy consumption is measuring your usage."

- SearchDataCenter Editor Matt Stansberry

"Using the Dominion PX, I was able to move away from relying on the circuit breaker to get an idea of the electric power needs of my test systems. This would be especially useful information for IT managers for capacity planning. And having more precise power utilization records should help IT managers apportion utility costs when charging back operational costs to business units."

Raritan Dominion PX PDU -- Lowering cooling costs isn’t just about water cooling or hot and cold aisle set up. Power management also plays a role in running an efficient data center. Raritan’s Dominion PX PDU allows resellers and customers to remotely turn power on and off, reboot, monitor and control power in a data center. Each Dominion PX PDU includes outlet-level power metering, secure IP access and user-configurable power sequencing.

"Raritan Dominion PX – Here’s an innovative solution that remotely manages and monitors the power supply to your datacenter...Bottomline: Brilliant product for remotely managing the power of your IT equipment."

-PCQuest's Anindya Roy

"Raritan has released a new intelligent power distribution unit (PDU) capable of monitoring power usage on an individual outlet basis, allowing end-customers to get the most out of their power capacity.  The Raritan Dominion PX was designed to make it easier for companies to get a much better idea of their exact power usage rather than guessing based on the maximum power utilization statistics given by server and device manufacturers, which can often be at least 25 per cent more than the typical usage model.

"Power To The People -- 12 Hot Products to See at LinuxWorld -- Power strips may be a pretty unsexy technology. But with growing demands for energy efficiency the timing is right for Raritan to debut its expanded power management portfolio, including the new "smart power strip" that measures in real time the power of each server in a rack, as well as track humidity and temperature. Raritan's product line includes the Dominion PX power distribution unit that provides both rack-level and outlet-level remote power monitoring and management."

"We always ask what our computers can do for us, but do we ever stop and think about what we can do for them? Being kind to your equipment will result in better reliability and a reduced likelihood of failure. A quick look at the specifications for your equipment will show acceptable temperature and humidity levels, but have you been checking these environmental factors regularly — or at all? Hot equipment is equipment heading for failure — do you know where the heat is coming from? In server racks, heat from each machine can contribute to the discomfort of neighbouring devices."

"The Raritan Dominion PX keeps track of power consumption, and records temperature and humidity data from sensors placed amongst your servers. When combined with an un-interruptible power supply, we think it will keep your servers safe and happy…The bottomline:  Energy savings and equipment safety is provided at a very reasonable price."
