Vertiv, a global provider of critical digital infrastructure and continuity solutions, announced the launch of the Liebert RDU501 infrastructure gateway appliance, an intelligent infrastructure management solution that allows data center administrators to monitor environmental conditions and data center infrastructure.
Designed for computer rooms and small to mid-size data centers, the Liebert RDU501 is an upgrade to the existing Liebert RDU-A G2 appliance. It integrates easily within a data center rack, enabling users to easily monitor the performance of all IT assets, including thermal management units, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) and generator sets, providing added intelligence and ease of management.
The Liebert RDU501 not only offers more device connections than its RDU-A G2 predecessor but also comes with IT management functions such as out-of-band serial console access as well as IT server startup and shutdown.
