PM2000 and PM3000 Intelligent Power Distribution Units
PM2000 & PM3000 intelligent Power Distribution units (IPDUs) support outlet level metering and switching capability to provide datacenter professionals the tools they need to monitor, measure, reduce, and manage their growing power consumption costs of IT equipment. Thresholds can be created to allow datacenter teams to know before problems occur and minimize downtime caused by overloaded circuits. With the ability to support up to 22 kW and support for C19 outlets, the PM2000 and PM3000 IPDUs are well positioned to support the high rack density found in organizations today.
Measure power at the Outlet level
Outlet level metering and switching capability provides datacenter professionals the tools they need to monitor, measure, reduce and chargeback their growing power consumption costs of IT equipment while minimizing any downtime that could potentially be caused by overloaded circuits or hung up IT equipment.
Metering/Switching capabilities
Capture valuable information and control power to individual devices
•Metering per outlet with the PM2000 IPDUs
•Metering and switching per outlet with PM3000 IPDUs
Alarms and monitoring
The Avocent PM2000 and PM3000 IPDUs deliver accurate,
Flexible management options
Avocent IPDUs can be combined with an ACS 6000 console server or DSR® KVM over IP switch to provide faster problem solving by integrating system access and power control in a single interface. Now you can see the remote devices and control their power using an integrated approach that allows you to actually see the remote device as it powers up or reboots. This integration provides instant feedback when critical issues are being resolved remotely.
DSView 3 management software integration
The DSView 3 software provides access and control to nearly all equipment found in today’s data centers. The DSView 3 Power Manager extends the capability of the DSView 3 software by also giving companies the ability to monitor and measure IT energy consumption, costs, and trends across all levels within their data centers and remote locations. With the PM2000 & PM3000 IPDUs this information can allow you to look at individual devices, a rack of equipment, a row of equipment and group items together to view overall consumptions, capacity and cost across many locations or just a single device.

Avocent can help you answer questions like-
Do you know how much power each piece of equipment is consuming?
Do you have the capability to cycle the power to your local and remote servers?
How do you limit who has permission to power cycle equipment and how is that activity logged?
When you install new equipment, how do you ensure that you have power available?
