With Liebert MPX, Knürr AG now provides an exceptionally fast response and versatile rack PDU for monitoring critical IT areas.
The modular and configurable high-end socket strip is used for intelligent and flexible power supply in the IT environment, and can be easily integrated into network or server racks. This new technology allows data center operators to achieve optimum power management results, and therefore increased energy efficiency. The principle is based here on scaling the power that is provided with remote management support. The users can configure their initial requirements, and adjust to changing conditions at all times. Liebert MPX also enables both local and remotely controlled monitoring for the consumption components – from a single socket, through to the complete rack PDU, every unit can be precisely controlled. Any faults that might occur are therefore quickly forecast and removed immediately, even before the critical phase begins. Another special feature here is the fact that both the power input and distribution can be individually adjusted at all times. The IT equipment can be easily updated and shown online with the socket modules, which can be swapped out during running operation. Liebert MPX goes even further – with power failures redundant devices are switched off to increase availability and backup power. A precise power measurement of ± 1% for voltage or current, ambient sensors, detailed alarm signals, and the widest operating range in the industry (up to 55°C) ensure a safe and secure overview of the IT landscape. This not only produces cost savings – it also promotes the ability to operate server environments more economically and environment friendly. Continuous server environment monitoring can also significantly increase the service life of the respective IT components. Handling the adaptive rack PDU is no problem either, as all displays can be easily mounted and adjusted without limit to the changing requirements of the respective location. Knürr AG’s experts guarantee faster and more flexible responses to future changes in the IT environment, and increased processor performances with low space requirements. Liebert MPX provides users with a tool that makes data center operation significantly more efficient. As energy consumption continues to be the biggest cost factor in the IT area, these data center equipment experts continue to help improve energy balances with this incredibly intelligent solution.
