Analyzing the benefits of remote power management for you

Power sockets can also be managed remotely. I wonder if you have heard of such power sockets. Speaking of power sockets, I believe everyone knows that they are indispensable electrical equipment in our daily lives and bear great safety responsibilities. However, power sockets that can be managed remotely may be the first time I have heard of such power sockets.

Why is the network power controller so popular? The following author will explain to you what benefits the network power controller (PowerBox series products) can bring us. Let's take the network room as an example.

Benefit 1: Breaking through the traditional manual restart method

Traditional manual restarts often require on-duty personnel to wait until power-consuming equipment such as servers and switches fails and cannot be powered normally before they find the fault and perform a simple manual restart. This is bound to waste a lot of valuable time and is not allowed in many situations. Frequent entry and exit of the computer room for manual restarts not only damages the constant temperature and humidity environment of the computer room, but also poses a certain threat to the health of the staff, wastes a lot of working time and energy, and also affects the confidentiality of related work in the computer room.

The network power controller is a new type of equipment that uses network control technology to remotely and intelligently control the power of downstream devices. It can provide a separate password protection mechanism for each port, can divide clear management levels, and is not limited by specific equipment or special programs. Through connection methods including Ethernet, public telephone exchange network, GSM dual-band network and wireless radio frequency network, it can use any networked computer, ordinary telephone, mobile phone text message and wireless transceiver to remotely control the power switch of the remote location , and query, connect, disconnect or restart the power supply of its downstream port.

It can easily help computer room engineers to perform remote restart operations without entering the computer room, reduce maintenance workload, increase network manageability, and make up for the power management part that network management software cannot cover. Without arriving at the equipment site, you can query, connect, disconnect or restart the power supply of servers and IT equipment on the downstream ports of the network power controller in the connected network. Once the server is found to be dead, it can be restarted instantly, greatly reducing the fault response time, improving service quality, and improving the reliability and safety of the computer room. The most important thing is to realize the zero-wait restart service. When the running server and other data devices fail or go down, the PowerBox remote power control system can automatically restart and troubleshoot according to the preset plan. There is no need for manual supervision at all, and to some extent, it has achieved unmanned duty.

Benefit 2: Centralized equipment management

For larger-scale network rooms, clustered deployment and effective management of electronic equipment are very necessary. PowerBox + Power Deluxe software platform = the best management method, which is convenient for small and medium-sized deployment and supports large-scale cluster deployment, so as to manage all electronic equipment in the data center in a unified and effective manner. Users can divide permissions according to their actual situation, divided into two levels: user permissions and administrator permissions, using one-to-many (one administrator to multiple users) and many-to-many (multiple users managing multiple devices) management methods. Build a remote management platform for you and your users that is both safe and convenient.

Benefit 3: From passive to active - automatic cycle control

Often, unnecessary losses are caused because the failure is not solved in time. The best way to solve the problem (server crash) is to find it in time + locate it quickly + solve it accurately. All three are indispensable. However, this is the embodiment of the intelligence of the network power controller. Users can use the digital management software of the computer room (PowerBox Deluxe software platform) to automatically detect and set the electronic equipment connected to the product.

It should be noted that the automatic detection mentioned here does not only refer to the freezing or downtime of electronic equipment. The automatic detection function can also be set for various services used by the server, such as: "ICMP", "HTTP", "TELNET", "FTP", "POP3", "SMTP", "HTTPS", etc.; if the server application service stops or the network device crashes, the PowerBox remote power control system can automatically restart according to the preset plan to quickly and effectively eliminate the fault.
