POWER IQ®
Power IQ enables data center and facility managers to
maintain uptime and improve efficiency of power and
cooling resource utilization.

The software automatically collects live power and


environmental measured readings, listen for alarms,
monitor thresholds, and send email alerts. It also
improves people efficiency by providing a single pane
of glass to all your intelligent racks PDUs and sensors.
Plus, it enables you to perform bulk configuration
and firmware update operations on your Raritan and
ServerTech devices including automatically backing-up
configurations to make it easy to restore a configuration
to a single PDU or clone settings to many PDUs. The
dashboard turns data in to information with health
and capacity maps, live webcam video, power capacity
analytics, trend charts, alarm lists, and ASHRAE cooling
charts.

Power IQ, initially developed by Raritan and now offered


to you by Sunbird Software Inc., fully integrates with
Raritan, ServerTech, and Starline power management
products.

POWER IQ ALLOWS YOU TO:


• Mass update Raritan and ServerTech PDU
