Raritan Dominion PX
Remote Power Management Solution

Raritan Outlet-level Remote Power Management

The Raritan Dominion PX allows users to remotely power on/off, reboot, monitor and control power in the data center. Standard features include outlet-level power metering, secure IP access (256-bit AES encryption), user-configurable power sequencing, and the ability to set warning/shutoff thresholds at the outlet and unit levels. Additionally, the outlet on/off status is retained in the event of power loss restoring power only to those receptacles that were on before the outage.  Outlet grouping is available enabling power cycling to servers with redundant power supplies. Raritan’s IP clustering feature enables users to daisy chain power strips together.

These intelligent PDUs can be managed with a user-friendly browser interface, or with other interfaces/protocols that might be preferred by IT administrators, including SSH, Telnet, IPMI, and SMASH CLI. The Dominion PX also supports advanced authorization options, including strong password, outlet-level permissions, and support for LDAP/S, RADIUS, TACACS+, and Active Directory.
