Raritan Introduces iPhone App For Managing Datacentres

Raritan has introduced Power IQ iPhone app- the first application available at the Apple iTunes Store that helps datacentre and lab managers “on the go” quickly view real-time power load (watts and amps) and perform secure remote power control on any server or rack power distribution unit.
The free Raritan Power IQ mobile app, which can be downloaded from the Apple iTunes online store, provides rack power management capabilities from anywhere. From an iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch, the Raritan iPhone app enables users to easily access datacentre power information gathered by Raritan’s vendor-agnostic Power IQ energy management software and take corrective action, such as turning off a server, if necessary.

A live-demo feature is also provided on the iPhone app, which enables users to try the app using servers running in Raritan’s IT Lab. “Visitors can use the Power IQ iPhone app to turn our Lab servers off and on, as well as access their energy metrics,” said Sanjay Motwani, Regional Manager India and Middle East, Raritan.

“Power IQ iPhone app is designed to deliver key energy information and helpful management functions to datacentre managers when they want it,” added Motwani. “Whether at a trade show, out to dinner or in the datacentre, users now have a solution to view real-time power load and perform secure power control operations on an outlet or multi-power-supply IT device, such as a server. This app saves both time and effort, ensuring datacentre professionals have the information and control they need when they need it.”
