Raritan PX is an intelligent power distribution unit (PDU) that allows you
to reboot remote servers and other network devices and/or to monitor
power in the data center.
The intended use of the Raritan PX is distribution of power to information
technology equipment such as computers and communication equipment
where such equipment is typically mounted in an equipment rack located
in an information technology equipment room.
Raritan offers different types of PX units -- some are outlet-switching
capable, and some are not. With the outlet-switching function, you can
recover systems remotely in the event of system failure and/or system
lockup, eliminate the need to perform manual intervention or dispatch
field personnel, reduce downtime and mean time to repair, and increase
productivity.
