Monitored PDUs Hold a Significant Share in the Market
- Monitored rack PDUs are essential components in data center and server room infrastructure, providing real-time monitoring of power usage, voltage, current, and other electrical parameters. This data helps administrators make informed decisions about power allocation and capacity planning.
- By tracking power usage trends, administrators can plan for future growth and ensure that power capacity is not exceeded, preventing overloads that could lead to equipment failures. Also, it helps identify inefficiencies and optimize energy usage. This can lead to cost savings and a reduced environmental footprint by eliminating unnecessary power consumption. Also, it allows administrators remote access and control, reducing the need for physical presence and minimizing operational disruptions.
- Increasing focus on digitalization, internet penetration, and e-commerce sales across the country creates more need for storage facilities, resulting in huge demand for data centers and a rise in power consumption. The increased demand for data storage has led to the deployment of intelligent power distribution units (PDUs) against simple multi-socket rack installations with server and network equipment, which optimize power consumption in data centers.
- Because of the advancements mentioned with monitored PDUs and the necessity to reduce electricity consumption as per government measures in the country, key market players are focusing on introducing efficient power management systems. In May 2023, Eaton, which provides power management services, launched G3 Universal Input Rack PPDUs with dynamic C39 outlets capable of accommodating different plug configurations and input voltage requirements. To meet the most diverse data center rack power requirements, G3UPDU added new features.
- There are five mega-sized data centers under construction. The major players involved in the mega-size data center segment are Globe+STT GDC+ Ayala Corporation (Karmanedge Inc.) and Diode Ventures + Endec Group +B&V. The IT load capacity under construction is more than 200 MW.
