HPE PDU – Consistent Power Delivery

Maintain reliable, efficient power distribution across your data center with enterprise-grade HPE PDUs (Power Distribution Units). Designed for use with HPE server and storage environments, these intelligent and scalable power solutions ensure consistent power delivery while supporting advanced monitoring and remote management. Whether you're operating a small server rack or a full-scale enterprise facility, HPE rack PDUs provide the backbone of a resilient IT power infrastructure.

Types of Power Distribution Units

HPE offers several PDU configurations to meet varying operational needs. Basic PDUs are ideal for simple power distribution, providing dependable delivery without monitoring overhead. Metered PDUs include onboard displays showing real-time power draw, helping IT teams prevent overloads and plan capacity effectively.

For environments that require remote control, switched PDUs allow administrators to toggle individual outlets on or off via a secure web interface. Intelligent HPE PDUs take this even further by offering outlet-level monitoring, remote firmware updates, and integration with infrastructure management platforms. These are especially valuable in high-density deployments where uptime and energy efficiency are critical.

Benefits of HPE Rack PDUs

HPE PDUs are designed to work seamlessly with HPE ProLiant servers, HPE BladeSystem, and HPE storage arrays, supporting tool-less mounting in standard racks. They feature compact vertical or horizontal form factors that conserve space while improving cable management.

Advanced models integrate with HPE OneView and other infrastructure management tools to provide real-time alerts, automate thresholds, and track power usage trends. These insights allow administrators to prevent unplanned downtime and improve energy efficiency. Outlet-level intelligence enables granular control over power consumption, which is critical for optimizing energy usage in modern data centers.

How to Choose the Right HPE PDU

When selecting an HPE PDU, start by calculating your total power requirements, including current usage and future growth. Factor in input voltage, amperage capacity, and plug type compatibility. Determine whether basic distribution is sufficient or if you require remote monitoring, power cycling, or integration with DCIM tools.

Vertical PDUs (zero-U) are ideal for maximizing rack space, while horizontal options suit low-density setups. For mission-critical applications, consider redundancy configurations and hot-swappable units.
