When it comes to the power levels being used in even a smaller server rack, you can’t just use a cheap power strip without the strip melting down is a concern, a proper PDU or power distribution unit is needed. For some, this might just be a simple unit that is basically just a rack-mounted power strip designed for the higher wattage, or maybe you need one with switches for each plug. Being able to keep an eye on power usage, remotely reboot, and to set your devices to reboot automatically if they stop pinging is what you can expect on the higher-end managed PDUs and that is exactly what Trendnet offers with their TPI-06 6-Outlet Managed PDU. Today I’m going to check the TPI-06 and see what it is all about and see how it performs by checking out the software side of things and see how it compares to the EnGenius ECP106 I took a look at last year.
