Smarter, safer and more efficient power distribution within critical IT and electrical environments.

Power distribution header

As IT and critical infrastructure environments continue to grow in density and complexity, the way power is distributed within racks has become increasingly important. Overloaded circuits, poor visibility of consumption and inflexible power layouts can lead to inefficiency, increased risk and unplanned downtime. Rather than treating power distribution as an after thought, at Hammer, we see PDUs as a key part of building reliable, scalable and well-managed infrastructure for our customers, providing control, visibility and resilience at the point of use.

Why PDU?

Improved reliability:
Purpose-built PDUs reduce the risks associated with ad-hoc power strips and unmanaged connections.

Efficient power management:
Enables balanced loading across circuits and phases, helping to maximise available capacity.

Scalability:
Supports future growth by providing flexible power distribution as rack densities increase.

Operational resilience:
Reduces the likelihood of overloads, nuisance trips and unexpected outages.


 

Types of PDU?

At Hammer, we don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Our team regularly supports customers with everything from cost-effective basic PDUs for comms racks, through to fully intelligent PDUs in high-density or mission-critical environments. Selection is always driven by risk, visibility requirements and long-term operational goals. Our dedicated specialist account managers and commercial teams have the expertise to guide you to the right solution for you.

Basic PDUs:

Simple, reliable power distribution for environments where monitoring is not required.

Metered PDUs:

Provide local visibility of load levels, helping teams avoid overloading circuits.

Monitored (Intelligent) PDUs:

Offer remote visibility of power usage, often integrated into DCIM or monitoring platforms.

Switched PDUs:

Allow remote control of individual outlets, supporting remote reboot and better operational control.

If you want to improve visibility, control and resilience within your racks, the Hammer team can help.

We work with you to understand your environment and recommend PDU solutions that genuinely support your operational needs. Contact your account manager for more information.
