EPDU products boost remote power capabilities

An Eaton Corp product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Sep 2, 2009

Minicom Advanced Systems has announced the integration of Eaton Corporation's EPDU products into its remote access management solution, AccessIT.

Acting as power distribution units for enclosures, Eaton's EPDU products measure power consumption at the data centre level as well as the sever level, to help users understand and control what is happening within their infrastructure.

Eaton's technology also allows the user to fully monitor, switch, sequence and manage individual outlets.

IT administrators can now have on-demand, web-based remote access together with mission critical power distribution control of all servers and IT devices.

Power commands are sent to Eaton's EPDU units through the AccessIT interface without the need for a separate login and password.

This integration is said to increase IT efficiency and reduce downtime in crisis situations.

If an IT administrator is accessing a server through AccessIT and an urgent reboot is required, a click on the power icon to the left of the server name will perform the function.

Administrators no longer require multiple spreadsheets of IP addresses, passwords and user names to manage access to their IT systems; it can all be done through a single interface.

'The integrated functionality of AccessIT, which includes remote power control of EPDU products from Eaton, delivers versatility that has a direct impact on IT efficiency and can reduce hardware management costs by as much as 75 per cent,' said Rami Sasson, vice-president of sales, Minicom.

AccessIT consolidates all in-band and out-of-band services, thus providing highly secure, web-based, on-demand remote access at all times.

Its open architecture prevents the vendor lock-in by supporting the integration of third-party serial, power and KVM switches and devices.

Other supported access services are VMWare, RDP, VNC, SSH, Telnet, HP ILO, web access and custom applications.
