The Smart/Intelligent label can sometimes generate confusion because it's not a term that corresponds to a singular qualifying product feature. There are a collection of advanced features that when available in a PDU model, make that model smart.
It's important to understand that it's not about having a smart PDU with all the advanced features currently available. It's about establishing what your power management needs are. And going from there. The industry has essentially scripted what are the most common power optimization scenarios, and thus have created a set of Smart PDU sub categories that each address an appropriate scenario.
Smart PDUS are broken down into 4 distinct sub categories:
- Metered Inlet PDUS
- Metered Outlet PDUS
- Switched PDUS
- Switched PDUS with Outlet Metering
Here are several manufacturers that carry PDU's;
- APC Schneider
- C2g
- Cisco
- CyberPower
- Eaton
- HP
- Intellinet
- Lenovo
- Middle Atlantic
- Minuteman
- Panduit
- Raritan Computer

Please allow me to add my compliments to CompSource, and you and your colleagues that CompSource has performed excellently in terms of responding to me as a customer on a small purchase and delivery was unbelievably swift. I ordered on Independance day and received within 42 hours? Do you guys have Star Trek beaming technology or something? ;)I have also posted on a couple of PC Modder/Overclocker/Gamer forums letting my fellow PC geeks know that CompSource is definately a "go to" company to rc_whittleMore Reviews
