Integrated Remote Power Management and Distribution for Use in
Branch and Remote Offices
Cyclades
®
PM intelligent power distribution units (IPDUs) enable remote power control and
system management of IT assets in branch and remote offices. When used in conjunction with
Cyclades ACS advanced console servers and DSR
®
switch appliances, Cyclades PM IPDUs offer
quick problem resolution through an integrated management interface. With one or more
outlets positively associated with a particular device, users may control power “in line”
through a user-defined “hot key” or by using an intuitive Web browser-based GUI. In addition,
a special command set facilitates scripting.
Cyclades PM IPDUs — IEC Models
Cyclades PM IEC models are equipped with IEC320-C13 power outlets and either IEC320
modular inlets or fixed power cables. These units are available in 10A, 15A, 16A, 20A, 30A and
32A capacities. Each model includes two RS-232 ports: one for management and the second for
daisy-chain expansion. Daisy chaining allows an operator to control up to 128 power outlets as
a single device. Cyclades IEC IPDUs are designed to operate in 100-240 VAC environments.
An LED display shows the real time, true RMS current draw. Each PM unit may be configured
to sound an alarm during an overcurrent condition, and if it is connected to a Cyclades ACS
console server, the IPDU may also send notifications via e-mail messages, Short Message
Service (SMS) pager messages and SNMP traps.
Applications
• Power control over remote IT assets from
anywhere on earth
• Seamless integration with Cyclades ACS
console servers, DSR switches and
DSView
®
3 management software
• Proactive fault management and isolation
• Fault notifications via e-mail, SMS page
and SNMP traps
Benefits
• Restore practically any IT asset without
dispatching service personnel
• Virtually eliminate power control errors
during crisis situations
• Improve administrative efficiency with
integrated control functions
• Proactively identify and manage
problems to improve mean time between
failure (MTBF)
• Reduce risk, reduce mean time to repair
(MTTR)
• Conserve valuable IP addresses and
switch ports
