ATEN's NRGence line-up is a new generation of green energy power distribution units (eco PDUs) that optimize the efficiency of data center power usage. The PE8324 eco PDUs are intelligent PDUs that contain 24 AC outlets and are available in various IEC / NEMA socket configurations. These models feature proactive overload protection to automatically power off the last outlet that causes the current overload while allowing users to set shutdown priority.

The eco PDUs provide secure, centralized and intelligent power management (power on, off, and cycle) of data center IT equipment (servers, storage systems, KVM switches, network devices, serial data devices, and more), as well as the ability to monitor the center's health environment via sensors.*These PDUs offer remote power control combined with real-time power measurement, allowing users to control and monitor the power status of devices attached to the PDUs, either at the PDU device, bank, or outlet level, depending on the model, from practically any location via a TCP / IP connection.

The power status of each outlet can be set individually, allowing users to switch each device on / off. The eco PDU also offers comprehensive power analysis reports which can separate departments and locations, providing precise measurements of current, voltage, power and watt-hour in a real-time display. Installation and operation are made fast and easy by simply plugging cables into their appropriate ports, and users get to enjoy the intuitive browser-based configuration and management. The eco PDU firmware is upgradeable over the Net, meaning users can download updates from ATEN's website to ensure that their eco PDU is equipped with the latest functionalities and improvements.

The series also supports the 3rd party V3 SNMP manager software and NRGence eco DC (Energy & DCIM Management Web GUI). The eco DC makes it easy when it comes to the management for multiple devices by allowing users to configure eco PDU setting and monitor the power status of the equipment connected to the PDU through a user friendly interface. Along with its set of features, the PE8324 series has become a convenient, reliable and cost-effective solution to help remotely manage power access for multiple computer installations and allocate power resources with efficiency.
