What Is It?
Managed Power offers a complete solution featuring a power distribution unit (PDU) to effectively manage and optimize power distribution for TPx-provided hardware in data centers and critical infrastructure. It ensures reliable operation by monitoring power usage, balancing loads, and planning capacity in real-time. This proactive management minimizes downtime, enhances energy efficiency, and supports scalability, aligning with industry standards and sustainability goals. Overall, the service integrates advanced technology to maintain peak performance while optimizing operational workflows and adapting to evolving IT landscapes.
Why You Need It
Power Management is essential for swiftly addressing operational issues with devices that aren’t performing as expected. It provides crucial initial troubleshooting steps, ensuring quick access to on-premises equipment and determining the operational status of devices. This service is exclusively offered as an add-on to other TPx managed services, enhancing overall support capabilities and ensuring comprehensive management of IT infrastructure.
How It Works
Power Management operates through the utilization of a power distribution unit (PDU), which provides detailed insights into the operational status of each device connected to it. This allows administrators to quickly determine whether connected devices are currently operational or offline.
Key functionalities are accessed through a cloud-based management portal dedicated to the PDU. From this portal, administrators can perform several critical action:
- Monitoring Device Status: The PDU continuously monitors the status of individual outlets and devices connected to it.
- Remote Power Cycling: Administrators can remotely power cycle specific outlets on the PDU through the management portal.
The Benefits
Remote Access and Power Cycling: Seamlessly manage and troubleshoot devices connected to the Power Distribution Unit (PDU) from anywhere, enabling swift resolution of issues without on-site intervention
Proactive Support Process: Simplify operations and enhance efficiency by preemptively addressing issues, eliminating reactive troubleshooting steps, and minimizing downtime
Enhanced Device Visibility: Gain deeper insight into the status of connected devices, empowering informed decision-making and proactive maintenance to optimize performance
Remote Reboot: Enable TPx to remotely initiate reboots on specific devices connected to managed power strips, ensuring uninterrupted operations and swift issue resolution
Auto-reboot of connected devices: Continuously monitors your device up/down status and power cycles the outlet if needed, keeping your critical infrastructure hardware running optimally
