Remotely displays status of input power load capacity and outlet power condition via secure network or web browser interface. Offers individual outlet control to power on off or cycle AC output to regain control of locked-up servers and other network devices. Load ramping and shedding provides automatic power management to any type of network configuration. Supports notification and logging of input power status event notification output power and PDU loading conditions.
