The Avocent SPC power management over IP solution
enables you to securely monitor and manage power to
your business-critical servers and other data center
network devices. Using Avocent DSView 3 management
software, you can remotely reboot or power cycle
servers and network devices from any location using
TCP/IP connectivity. Combined with Avocent DSR KVM
switches and the ACS appliance, the SPC power
control device delivers advanced power management
and security. The SPC device provides enhanced
security options, including password protection,
port-specifi c access rights and port groupings. DSR
KVM switches and ACS appliances add authentication
and multiple levels of data encryption for advanced
user security.
Avocent SPC Switched PDU Application Diagram
Avocent SPC Features:
-
Integrated Power Management- Access to SPC power
control device from DSView 3 software provides
built-in support for servers with multiple power
supplies and reduces the possibility of
inadvertently switching off the wrong
server/target device
- Higher
Amperage- The SPC device with 208V @ 30 Amp
doubles the power load delivered to the rack
without increasing the electrical infrastructure
- On/Off
Power Indicators- With DSView 3 software, easily
view the SPC device's power outlet on/off status
without entering the server room/data center
-
Power-Up Sequencing- Avoid branch circuit
overload (often caused by inrush current) when
turning on the SPC device
- Naming
Associations- Create an association between a
server name and specific SPC outlet port(s)
-
Redundant Power Supply Configurations- Single
click and connect power control of dual/multiple
target devices that are powered from independent
branch circuits and power sources
- Power
Monitoring- Dynamically measures and reports
total input current load and indicates on/off
state for every port
- Local
and Remote Power Load Measurement- Hot plug
additional SPC devices without the risk of
overloading the branch circuit
Avocent SPC Software Integration
The latest version of DSView 3 software integrates
power control into seamless click and connect
access. DSView 3 software lets you easily associate
server names with actual power outlet ports on the
SPC power control device. This feature eliminates
the need to memorize the DSR/ACS/SPC appliances and
SPC port combinations of the target server or the
assigned user permissions. DSView 3 software
also allows grouping of servers with dual power
supplies connected to two power circuits. DSView 3
software separates the power supplies on different
power sources for true redundancy and control of
dual-powered servers.
The MergePoint service processor management
appliances also ease the deployment and management
of these technologies. With easy-to-use IPMI
provisioning capabilities and an autodiscovery
mechanism for server management technologies within
the network, the MergePoint 5300 series appliances
are ideal for enterprise data centers as well as for
high performance computing (HPC) and other
clustering environments.

Avocent SPC420
Switched Rack PDU
The Avocent SPC offers many benefits:
- Intelligent Power Management.
Individual, addressable power outlets let you
remotely reboot devices from any location in the
data center or across the globe
- Security. In addition to port-specific
and command-specific access control, the SPC power
control solution provides advanced user
authentication and data encryption when combined
with Avocent DSR KVM switches and ACS appliances
- Power Monitoring. Dynamically
measures and reports total input current load
and indicates on/off status for every port
- Power Control. Features command line
local and remote power on/off and cycling
- Energy Efficiency. Power-on
sequencing eliminates inrush current overload,
which lets you maximize the number of devices on
a single circuit
- Click and Connect Access. Avocent DSView
3 software, using IP connections, provides secure
click and connect access to any connected SPC power
control device. DSView 3 software lets you easily
associate server names with actual power outlet
ports on the SPC device
- Ease of Use. Available in a 4-outlet
model, with configurable port grouping and
naming, multi-port commands and enhanced
administration
