Echola Systems Introduces New Low-Cost Smart Power Distribution Unit in Desktop Form Factor

SAN JOSE, Calif., Jan. 24, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Echola Systems' SPDU-108L, a new 8-socket/outlet desktop smart power distribution unit (PDU), also known as Remote Power Switch, which was showcased at INTEROP in Las Vegas , is now available for order online.

SPDU-108L is the only PDU currently available in the market with comprehensive socket level remote energy management in the Desktop/Wall-mount form factor. It targets users of small businesses, home offices, and educational institutions who want to seriously reduce the energy consumption cost of their IT equipment. Significant cost savings can be achieved using its advanced socket level energy monitoring (billing-grade accuracy) combined with its intelligent remote power switching (on/off or reboot of hung-up equipment).

Users can configure, monitor, and control the PDU through user-friendly Web interface. The Web interface provides socket level, real-time updates on Power (Real, Reactive and Apparent), Energy, True RMS Current, Phase Angle, Power Factor and Voltage, Frequency, and Temperature. It also supports comprehensive energy report down to minute-level granularity.

The SPDU-108L supports features that help to conserve electricity, either directly or indirectly. The energy monitoring feature helps to reduce energy costs by identifying the energy abusing equipment. It also supports features that help to save energy by shutting down unused equipment using scheduled shutdown and master outlet control functionalities. The scheduled timers can be used to schedule a planned shutdown or power reset on a specific day, date, or time. The master outlet control feature, on the other hand, allows users to assign one of the sockets as the master socket for a group of sockets. All equipment connected to slave sockets would be switched off when the master socket is switched off or equipment connected to the master socket goes to standby mode, drawing little current.

The SPDU-108L smart PDU is priced at $269. For more information, visit http://www.echola.com/power/SPDU-108L-15A-8-Outlets-Switched-PDU.html
