Dear IT Professional,

Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Stuart Hopper and I am delighted to be the new VP of Sales and Marketing for Raritan Europe. I’m really looking forward to working with you at this exciting time as we launch some brand new product lines.

I am very pleased Raritan can now offer its customers several PDU metered, non-switched models in addition to its existing range of intelligent PDUs and inline metered units. All models attractively priced and with superior reliability. Users can even define thresholds and receive alerts when thresholds are crossed for both power and environmental events. Take a look at the new affordable Dominion PX-1000 and remember until December 31st 2010 you will get a FREE temperature sensor with every PX-1000 you purchase.

Gartner says energy-related costs account for approximately 12 percent of overall data center expenditures.

Energy-related costs account for approximately 12 percent of overall data center expenditure and are the fastest-rising cost in the data center, according to Gartner, Inc. Analysts said that data center power, cooling and energy supply, and cost problems are likely to worsen during the next few years as organizations grow their technology infrastructure as they emerge from a recessionary period.
 

"With upwards of 5 percent growth for server shipments predicted per year over the next two years, organizations need to forcefully control their energy consumption and costs," said Rakesh Kumar, research vice president at Gartner. "To do this, data center operators need to measure energy-related data across the whole site, including the building, the facility's components and the IT equipment portfolio."

Raritan Introduces Economical Intelligent Rack PDU with True kWh Energy Metering.
 

Raritan added a new family of intelligent rack power distribution units (PDU), the Raritan PX-1000 Series, to its power management portfolio.
 

The PX-1000, and Raritan's other intelligent rack PDUs, gather extensive and accurate power information, including data on voltage, current (Amps), power factor, apparent power (kVA), active power (kW), environmental temperature and humidity and energy consumption in kilowatt hours (kWh). To make it easy for data center operators to view power activity, real-time information can be seen on the PDU's LED display at the rack and from a remote user interface via a Web browser. User-configurable critical and non-critical power and environmental thresholds can be set, and alerts sent so data center managers can take corrective action.

PX delivers the industry's most accurate measurement -- with ISO/IEC +/- 1% billing-grade accuracy -- on the important kWh metric; whereas other solutions only measure current (Amps) or determine kWh through calculations and assumptions, instead of real-time measurement.

Omnicom Group's Unit 7 Data Center Goes Lean and Green with Raritan's Server and Power Management Solutions.
 

Unit 7, a relationship marketing agency based in New York City, needed to better manage the space and power in its server room. The agency also wanted to move towards energy-saving virtualization and other green computing technologies while continuing to ensure performance and security. Raritan was able to meet these challenges with an array of server and power management solutions.
