Server Technology Inc., the leader in remote power management, today announced that its Sentry Switched Cabinet Power Distribution Unit (CDU) products are now compatible with Avocent's DSView 3 management software.

"The integration of DSView 3 software and Server Technology's CDU product family greatly expands power management product accessibility in an evolving cabinet power distribution market place," comments Brandon Ewing, Server Technology's executive vice president.

Consequently, the users who select the DSView 3 management software for their data centers can benefit, according to the manufacturer, of a single interface for a secure management of their CDU's along with servers and serial devices.

Server Technology offers a wide range of Basic, Metered, Smart, and Switched CDU's for cabinets in data centers along with -48 VDC products for the Telecom industry and a Fail Safe Transfer Switch product series for fail-safe redundant power applications.

This approach is said to be unique to the CDU marketplace and viable for Server Technology customers. Server Technology is ISO 9001 certified and all products include agency approvals to the EN 60950-1 standard as well as the CE Mark.

"Access to third-party power management solutions through our enterprise DS View 3 software means greater flexibility for our customers who have to remotely manage multi-vendor equipment and power in their data centers and remote offices," said Dusty Pritchett, Avocent's executive president of global marketing.

The Sentry Switched CDU is available for purchase both through Avocent Take Command Program resellers www.avocent.com and from Server Technology. Sentry Switched CDUs combine remote configuration and management with power distribution and environmental monitoring. The Avocent SPC power controllers come in a variety of 4, 8, and 16 outlets.
