Raritan's Intelligent Power Management Solutions Recognized At Green IT Awards

Raritan won awards at the the 2010 Green IT Awards, in the 'Hardware Product

of the Year'category for its Dominion PX intelligent power distribution unit (PDU),

and a runner-up award in the 'Minister of Energy' category for its Power IQ

energy manage­­ment software.

Winners of this year's Green IT awards were announced at an awards ceremony

held on Earth Day, in London. Sponsored by Green IT Magazine, the awards

recognize the outstanding environmental products, suppliers and projects of 2009

and high­light the companies and teams that have made significant contributions

to improving the IT industry's environmental performance.

“We are proud that two of Raritan's key power management solutions have been

recognized by the prestigious Green IT Awards. Today, as organiza­tions move

towards the Green IT movement and understand what is happe­ning within their IT

environ­ment in terms of power consu­m­ption, the demand for green products is

rising,” said Sanjay Motwani, Regional Manager-India and Middle East, Raritan.

“The Government of India's initiatives to be the world's first market for

trading in energy savings will also give impetus to green products. It is our

goal at Raritan to help customers reduce energy costs and their carbon footprint

by providing them a systematic, auditable approach through our green

technology,” Motwani further added.

Dominion PX intelligent PDU helps datacenters measure power usage

accu­rately. It provides unique power information to help answer key data­center

questions, such as 'where servers should be placed for optimal efficiency,' and

'which rack has available capacity'. Customers have a better understanding of

how much and how their datacenters consume energy and, as a result, can take

steps to improve efficiency and track improvements.

Power IQ collects and analyzes energy data of IT equipment connected to

Raritan's Dominion PX PDU and third-party Ethernet-enabled intelligent rack PDUs,

as well as datacenter temperature and humidity.
