1 CenterMind P+ Intelligent Power Management for your Data Center

2 Intelligent Power Management for your Data Center monitor and manage your data center power consumption and connectivity efficiently The RiT CenterMind P+ solution is a key building block in the RiT CenterMind solution for comprehensive data center management. It features a wide choice of power distribution units (PDUs) suited to varied requirements in data centers and computer rooms and offers the option for easy, remote power management via RiT Software Solution. Using the RiT CenterMind P+ solution, you can efficiently and remotely monitor and manage power consumption and connectivity to all devices in the data center. With accurate power usage information in hand, and control at your fingertips even from offsite, you can: Reduce power expenses Improve the green performance of your data center Better optimize provisioning Act quickly to prevent disasters Gain control over the power paradox The data center is one of the most power-hungry facilities in most organizations today. This has given rise to an all-too-common paradox: more power is needed in the data center even as power consumption across the enterprise is being targeted for reduction. With computing capabilities and cabinet density growing, additional power is required just to run IT equipment. Likewise, the power required for supporting systems in the data center, such as air conditioning units, is also rising. But, as organizations look for ways to streamline costs, improve efficiency, and reduce carbon footprint, IT executives are being pressed to reduce power usage and costs. It s time to power-up your power monitoring All of this means that if power is not yet your number one IT facility management issue it is likely to become so soon. Power considerations should be an integral part of your data center planning as well as ongoing operation. It is no longer enough to know how much power your data center as a whole uses; now you need to know how much power each individual device consumes and you need to be able to see and control the power status at any time, from anywhere. The RiT CenterMind P+ advantage As a part of the full RiT CenterMind data center infrastructure management (DCIM) solution, RiT CenterMind P+ provides a flexible solution for properly monitoring and managing your power usage. It also assists in addressing numerous other challenges, from provisioning to disconnects, to disaster prevention. With RiT CenterMind P+ hardware and software, you can: Adopt comprehensive DCIM without complex integrations With a single point of management for data center equipment, environment and power Gain real-time power consumption monitoring capabilities At the per-device level Optimize provisioning Through fast and complete consideration of power issues for both primary equipment and redundancy options Improve disaster prevention By immediately seeing and acting on potentially problematic deviances in power usage Manage power from remote With remote reboots, and more Support green initiatives By considering power consumption in every aspect of your data center management

3 RiT CenterMind P+ Software for Power Management Integrated Power Consumption and Connectivity Management The RiT CenterMind P+ solution is an integral part of the comprehensive RiT CenterMind solution for DCIM; therefore you can leverage RiT Software Solution to manage your power distribution units (PDUs). The software extends the functionality of the RiT CenterMind P+ PDUs built-in web server, so that you can see more and do more, from wherever you are. You can use the same intuitive webbased interface to monitor and manage your data center or computer room power that you use for managing your network assets and data center environment. see more, do more RiT Software Solution enables you to: Monitor power consumption at a highly granular level Per device and per inlet or outlet. Efficiently manage power connectivity Advanced visualization and documentation of power connectivity at the outlet level assists in provisioning and ensures efficient processes. Gain remote unit control Immediately see the live/non-live status of every device and instigate reboots from any remote location, saving time and enabling prompt to prevent disasters. Using the same, comprehensive software for all your data center infrastructure management including power and environment can lead to dramatic savings during provisioning, as it eliminates the need for complex and time-consuming integrations. One RiT customer, a world-leading financial institution, estimated that the RiT solution reduced provisioning time for its new data center by up to 90%. Intuitive and straightforward visualization CenterMind P+ Software provides full visualization of power connectivity at the cabinet level. With a map of the data center cabinets that displays the power layer, with color-coded indication of power levels, you can easily and instantly see the power status of every cabinet. RiT CenterMind P+ PDUs Meeting Diverse Power Monitoring and Management Needs The RiT CenterMind P+ solution offers a wide variety of networked and non-networked power distribution units (PDUs), enabling you to choose the level of control, visibility and management that best suits your data center or computer room. All the CenterMind P+ PDUs provide versatile density support, with varied single phase and 3-phase configurations for use worldwide. They all can be zero U-mounted on the back or side of the cabinet, saving precious space and supporting future growth. External temperature and humidity sensors can be attached to several of the models, enhancing the capabilities of the PDUs. See below for more information on CenterMind P+ sensors. Reliable, secure power management devices With CenterMind P+ PDUs, you can be sure of high availability for your missioncritical data center equipment. By managing your networked PDUs via RiT Software Solution, you can see all connections and alerts from anywhere, at any time. This enables immediate action to mitigate power problems in order to minimize downtime.

4 RiT CenterMind P+ power distribution solutions Choose from: RiT CenterMind P+ Basic PDUs Basic PDUs are a reliable and economical power distribution solution where monitoring and/or management are not needed. Several models are available, supporting different numbers of outlets and various voltage and current configurations. RiT CenterMind P+ Metered PDUs Metered PDUs offer the same capabilities and configuration options as the Basic PDUs, and also feature an easy-to-read on-device display showing the current load. RiT CenterMind P+ Sensors The RiT CenterMind P+ Humidity Sensor and RiT CenterMind P+ Temperature Sensor connect directly to any RiT CenterMind P+ Smart PDU or Switched PDU. By adding these sensors to your PDUs you can monitor humidity and temperature levels inside the cabinet via your RiT CenterMind P+ power monitoring solution. These sensors are ideal when only one sensor of each kind is needed per cabinet. smart power distribution at your fingertips RiT CenterMind P+ Smart PDUs In addition to handling power distribution within a cabinet, Smart PDUs enable real-time monitoring of power consumption from remote, via a built-in web server or RiT Software Solution. Alerts and notifications are sent to designated users via and SNMP alerts. Two Smart PDUs can be linked, so that one shared IP address is needed per cabinet, reducing costs and freeing up switch ports. Two temperature and/or humidity sensors can be attached to each Smart PDU, enabling monitoring of these key environment parameters without the need for external controllers. RiT CenterMind P+ Switched PDUs Switched PDUs offer remote power management, as well as the full-featured, real-time power monitoring, shared IP address for two PDUs and support for temperature and humidity sensors provided by Smart PDUs. With the ability to switch on/off individual and multiple ports in the PDU remotely, you can instigate equipment reboots from any location and at any time. Worldwide approvals RiT CenterMind P+ PDUs are approved according to major standards worldwide. Basic PDUs Metered PDUs Smart PDUs Switched PDUs
