Case Study: a large accounting firm achieves real-time data center visibility and power efficiency with Raritan intelligent power and access solutions

Accounting Firm boosts rack density with Raritan 50-amp PDUs and real-time monitoring

A large accounting firm faced challenges managing power and gaining visibility at its new high-density colocation data center, which also served as a disaster recovery site. With cabinets consuming up to 10 kW, the firm needed intelligent power distribution and environmental monitoring to support its growth and energy-efficiency goals. To address this, they turned to Raritan for an intelligent rack PDU solution.

Raritan implemented its PX 1000-series intelligent rack PDUs with outlet-level metering and sensors, integrated with DCIM monitoring software. This provided real-time visibility into power usage and infrastructure performance across both the new colo and legacy data centers. The solution enabled accurate capacity planning, reduced electricity consumption and cooling costs, and eliminated hotspots. The firm also uses Raritan's Dominion KX III and CommandCenter Secure Gateway for secure remote server access, creating a complete platform to manage its distributed data centers reliably.
