Sustainability in Rack PDUs
All APC NetShelter Rack PDUs offer Green Premium transparency. APC intelligent PDUs go a step further by enabling you to reduce Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions in four primary ways:
- Reducing the overall embodied carbon of the rPDU itself
- Tracking energy use in real-time and historically, and at different granularities – a critical step to making improvements and reporting to stakeholders.
- Identifying energy wasters, like ghost servers or vampire loads, allows you to turn them off onsite or remotely.
- Enabling remote monitoring and management, which reduces emissions and inefficiencies related to travel and onsite support.
Sustainable capability by APC NetShelter Rack PDU type
