Cisco UCS Power Management
Cisco UCS Power Management
Delivering and managing power to your UCS infrastructure is key to maintaining availability and reducing total cost of ownership. Implementing the correct power redundancy architecture and delivering an effective monitoring and response solution drastically increases the survivability of your Cisco UCS hardware.
Cisco UCS servers use multiple power policy settings to satisfy varying power requirements. WTI PDU’s help enforce these policies, provide visibility and remotely control power on PSU’s to reduce downtime and maximize efficiency.
Managed Power for Cisco UCS
- Per Outlet Metering & Switching
- Circuit Breaker Protection Per Outlet
- CLI, Web, SNMP, RESTful API, Ansible, Python
WTI PDU’s are installed at the rack level between the power source and your Cisco UCS blade, rack & storage servers. WTI has different PDU model options to accommodate the power redundancy architecture of your facility and ultimately the power source(s) available to each rack. A WTI PDU receives input power supply from the main utility, generator, breaker panel or battery backup power source such as a UPS. Each PSU from your Cisco UCS chassis plugs directly into a WTI PDU which then provides circuit breaker protection, monitoring & power control capabilities at the individual outlet level.
WTI has a wide variety of PDU configurations with different input and outlet capacities to accommodate Cisco UCS Blade Servers, UCS Rack Servers and UCS Storage Servers. In addition, WTI PDUs can support Cisco UCS M5, M4 and M3 models with varying N+1, 2N, 2N+1 or 2+2 grid power policies and redundancy options.
