- 10. Dominion PX Rear View Outlet #8 Outlet #1 Push either button to cycle through outlets. Push both buttons to toggle between Volts and Amps. Top display: Volts or Amps Bottom display: Outlet number Outlet 00 is entire PDU LED outlet indicator: RED: Power ON (relay closed) and LIVE (voltage present) RED Flashing: ON and LIVE but current has crossed non-critical threshold GREEN: OFF (relay open) and LIVE GREEN Flashing: OFF and circuit breaker OFF YELLOW Flashing: ON and NOT LIVE (circuit breaker open or other high voltage rail error)
- 11. Dominion PX Management GUI Outlets Display Turn individual or group of outlets OFF and ON and monitor the outlets or PDU level power consumption Each outlet features an icon whose color and flashing status indicates the status of the outlet.
- 12. Dominion PX Management GUI Outlets Details Window Displays the current, voltage and power values and status of a specific outlet and allows the user to power on, off and cycle the outlet.
- 13. Dominion PX Management GUI Event Log Settings Window Allows users to configure event logging, including selecting the desired events and entering the e-mail address for notifications or other standards-based methods for storing events.
- 14. Dominion PX Management GUI Outlet Setup Window Allows users to give each outlet a name to help identify the connected devices and to set non-critical and critical thresholds.

- At a macro level, we’re seeing many of our customers experiencing very similar IT pain points, including Lack of budgets and growing costs to IT operations over time (see chart) Challenges in keeping the many devices and software (from several vendors) that they have deployed over many years time Limited resources from a people perspective, for example having the right people with the right skills or having enough people Beginning to see customers worry about cost of power (see chart) Finally, the need and challenge to implement best practice processes to manage the IT organization, e.g. ITIL service support (Incident, problem, change, configuration, release mgmt) and service delivery So what’s the problem? The top chart should be very familiar as you many of you have seen this before. It’s about the cost of mgmt and admin associated with the sheer amount of servers being deployed. What’s getting more and more attention recently is the associated cost of power AND cooling those servers and the heightened awareness for data center efficiency and being green, so although the bottom chart looks similar to the top, it’s focused on a different cost center driven from the same root cause.
- This is a chart published by ASHRAE (American Society for Heating, Refrigeration, and Air-conditioning Engineers), points out the fact that whether we’re talking about tape storage, standalone workstations, storage servers, compute servers, or communications, there is a GENERAL TREND towards higher equipment power densities. Blades, 1U, 2U, front/back racking, NAS, SAN, and very large com equipment like Cisco 7600 series with their 6000Watt power supplies are requiring A LOT more power & cooling per sq ft of space in the Data Center. I recently heard of a survey where the half of all respondents in the poll mentioned that they will run out of data center capacity by the end of 2008 if they continue at their current growth rate. If you think back to the internet boom, there was a lot of data center build out in anticipation of need back in the late 90s, to very early 2000’s, then the internet bust and lots of excess capacity. Well that capacity has been used up and back then nobody realized what kind of power/heat densities they would be dealing with. DC managers have to evolve and become much more intelligent and sophisticated about how they architect and manage their environments to gain maximum flexibility and efficiencies.
- When you take a look at how the data center consumes power, the largest portion or about 50% is for servers and IT equipment while the balance for cooling, moving air, and losses from electrical conversions from when electricity enters the building to transformers, PDU’s (not rack PDU’s), RPPs, UPS’s (the whole AC to DC back to AC thing), and so forth.
- In the initial release, we will keep the 7 most popular models in stock. Other models will be available on a custom basis.
