III. Application Scenarios and Pain Point Solutions
1. Scenario 1: Energy consumption monitoring and energy efficiency optimization in large data centers
Pain points:
With PDUs scattered across hundreds of racks, energy consumption data is difficult to collect .
Uneven electrical load leads to severe localized overheating;
There is a lack of detailed energy efficiency analysis and optimization basis.
Both are solutions:
Each smart PDU uploads parameters such as current, voltage, power, temperature, and humidity in real time via the network;
By unifying and aggregating data through a unified intelligent monitoring platform, power consumption can be visualized at the rack and data center levels. The system automatically identifies high-energy-consuming nodes, provides energy efficiency optimization suggestions (such as load balancing and off-peak operation), generates energy consumption reports, supports PUE analysis and energy-saving assessment, and helps build green data centers.
Effect:
Achieving transparent energy consumption management at three levels—”rack, area, and server room”—significantly reduces operating costs.
2. Scenario 2: Unmanned Remote Data Center and Emergency Management
Pain points:
Distributed edge data centers are numerous and difficult to maintain ;
The equipment cannot be dealt with in a timely manner after it malfunctions or becomes overloaded ;
Traditional manual inspections are inefficient and risky.
Both are solutions:
The intelligent PDU supports remote insertion control and can remotely restart servers or network devices;
Automatic alarms are triggered in case of anomalies, and real-time notifications are sent via SMS, email, and platform push .
It supports linkage with temperature and humidity sensors and smoke detectors to achieve comprehensive environmental monitoring ;
The platform supports unified management of multiple sites and centrally displays the operating status of all PDUs .
Effect:
This achieves true “unmanned operation,” improving maintenance efficiency and significantly increasing equipment availability.
3. Scenario 3: Power supply protection for high-security data centers
Pain points:
Power grid fluctuations and lightning surges can cause equipment damage .
The risk of cascading failures in the power supply system is high ;
It has extremely high requirements for power supply continuity .
Both are solutions:
Built-in multi-stage surge protection module (SPD) provides surge protection up to 6kV;
Rapid overcurrent and short-circuit disconnection is achieved through current and voltage anomaly detection;
It adopts highly reliable industrial relays and supports dual power supply switching ;
The equipment has multiple international certifications such as UL and CE, ensuring power supply safety .
Effect:
Improved power supply reliability in data centers effectively reduces downtime caused by power supply anomalies.
