Remote
power management system is extensively used in data centers primarily to
prevent downtime. Power management strips are used in data center racks to
facilitate access to a secure power cycle. The system is also referred to as a
remote reboot system. System administrators are the primary users of the remote
reboot systems.
Theoretically
speaking, a system meant for the management of power remotely should be able to
power up cycle servers as well as other devices from any point in the world.
Apart from providing power to these servers, the reboot system could also be
used by system administrators to troubleshoot any problem that might arise.
This effectively
eliminates server downtime by ensuring administrators are able to manage the
servers more effectively. The server power control can be directly accessed by
the maintenance staff. Several organisations and businesses use this system to
manage their servers which might be located in isolated areas away from the
technical support staff.
The remote
management systems are responsible for enhanced functionality of basic power
systems especially the traditional meters. The best outlet level management can
only be provided by intelligent Power Distribution Units (PDU). Rack power
distribution units can only provide amperage readings and some other basic
information.
The RPM sector
has witnessed some very interesting advances recently. According to the
National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA), some of the recent
developments include 3 phase power which is increasingly being used in data
centers and server rooms, power up sequencing and branch circuit protection.
Power up
sequencing is a system that is used to prevent overloading of circuits. This is
achieved through sequence rebooting where the routers and servers reboot after
the successful rebooting of firewalls. Branch circuit protection ensures that
issues and power anomalies are isolated.
Remote Power
Management System Advantages
???They reduce
labor costs and server downtime. Power is recycled to systems that fail to
respond. Administrators are also able to troubleshoot server problems remotely
which reduces losses and outages. One major difference between the remote
systems and other traditional systems of power management is that while
technicians have to physically reboot the traditional system, the remote system
on the other hand requires an administrator to remotely gain access to the Rack
PDU and reboot it via a browser.
???They allow
for proactive monitoring of the humidity level, temperature and amperage draw.
They are able to send alerts to a central system for the necessary action. They
have probes that are directly mounted on to the strips which generate the
alerts. This ensures that established thresholds of these values are never
exceeded.
???Every RPM
comes with tools and information gathering systems that enable IT professionals
to maintain smooth operations of the servers, data centers and environments
comprising of small office/home office (SOHO).
