Global Data Center Rack PDU Overview
A power distribution unit (PDU) or mains distribution unit (MDU) is a device fitted with multiple outputs designed to distribute electric power, especially to racks of computers and networking equipment located within a data center. One is the combination transformer/breaker panel that is often used between a UPS supplying voltage higher than that used by the IT equipment and the cabinets whereas another one is the smaller "power strip" like device that is used inside the rack to distribute power to the IT equipment. Data centers face challenges in power protection and management solutions. This is why many data centers rely on PDU monitoring to improve efficiency, uptime, and growth.
Global Data Center Rack PDU Drivers & Restraints
The growing deployment of data centers around the world is the major driving factor influencing the demand for data center racks PDU. The increasing demand for technology services and increasing investments in data center installation capabilities from major companies are also influencing the growth of the market. With evolving technologies and the adoption of high-density servers, rack infrastructure has become an important aspect in data centers, with the need to effectively host servers, manage cables, and facilitates power availability for the uninterrupted optimum performance of data centers and drives the demand for rack PDU. Growing focus on utilizing the limited amount of space available in various data center infrastructures; this factor is expected to boost the growth of the market. However, growing complications associated with the data center construction designing and operations can hinder the market growth, and availability of low-cost alternatives can hinder the market growth. The restricted budget also expected to act as a restraint for this market.
