RICHMOND, VA — (Marketwire) — 07/27/11 — Power Distribution, Inc. (PDI), providers of mission-critical equipment, alternative energy, industrial and commercial power markets, today announced the fusion of their WaveStar BCMS Hub system with its award-winning PowerWave Bus System. The innovation simplifies data center power management by providing a centralized display monitor, capturing each PowerWave device-s real time, power-load information through a touch screen panel or sharing the power information with building management systems via SNMP or Modbus RTU protocols.
In addition, the integrated offering is capable of collecting information from up to 32 PowerWave Bus end feeds as well as all associated tap off boxes in the data center. Vice President of Marketing, Service, Dave Mulholland, elaborates on why his company-s innovation is needed within data centers.
“In today-s era of 7×24 data consumption, data center managers must be able to effectively measure, monitor, and then manage power consumption to maximize server utilization,” Mulholland said. “To address this need, PDI has developed the WaveStar BCMS Hub as a cost-effective and easy means to instantly gain eye-level visibility into a data center-s power consumption, while also providing statistical graphs and customizable reports for trending insights and power analysis.”
The standard WaveStar BCMS Hub for the PowerWave Bus System includes:
Real-time voltage or current information from end feeds or tap off boxes
Reporting through either Modbus RTU or SNMP protocol, or an embedded Web server accessible through a TCP / IP address
WaveStar monitor to graphically show each BCMS-enabled panel board
Power consumption reporting software with embedded, exportable Microsoft Excel files
Open access to the reporting functions for easy report creation
Convenient, eye-level mounted monitor — as opposed to a local monitor in the end feed of the bus, requiring a ladder to read and manage power
The new hub also offers the ability to view real-time alarms and power measurements through TCP / IP connections that collect information from all downstream BCMS-enabled power quality products in a data center.
