PDI Releases the Wavestar 500 KVA Mission Critical PDU
RICHMOND, VA., April 1, 2008 – Power Distribution, Inc. (PDI), a leading manufacturer of mission critical distribution equipment for the data center market, announced the addition of the Wavestar Mission Critical 500 KVA power distribution unit (PDU) to its PowerPak line. This new design continues to build upon PDI's 30 year tradition of innovation and represents an industry first with the ability, through the Wavestar monitoring system, to locally display both PDU critical functions and PDI's patented Branch Circuit Monitoring System (BCMS) in a single device. The Wavestar monitoring system can provide these points to the building management system remotely via Modbus or SNMP.
"The Wavestar 500 KVA PDU addresses the market need for efficient, intelligent power solutions to serve the increasing rack power density from blade servers," state Keith Schmid, President and CEO of PDI. "In addition, we have integrated market requested features such as a high efficiency low inrush transformer, front access design to allow for easy infrared scans, compression lugs, plug in style breakers, hinged panels with two point locks, and bus connections for the transformer and circuit breakers into this industry leading product."
Dave Mulholland, VP of Marketing and Service for PDI, adds "PDI's introduction of the 500 KVA PDU, coupled with the industry leading Wavestar monitoring system, raises the bar again. Building upon the successful release of the Wavestar static transfer switch, the Wavestar 500 KVA PDU is the next step in expanding the line up of intelligent monitoring systems for PDI. We expect to continue to expand with more Wavestar products in the near future."
