Choosing Power Distribution Units (PDUs) for Networking, Server and Telecom Applications

From Tripp Lite
 

 

Faced with increasingly complex networks, managers are responsible for identifying reliable power sources for all of their equipment. This white paper establishes Power Distribution Units (PDUs) as a source for reliable network power by answering the following questions:
* What are PDUs?
* How has the PDU market evolved?
* How are PDUs mounted?
* How do I select the perfect PDU for my application?
