The 8-port SPC800 power control devices from Avocent provides you with a field-proven method to securely monitor and manage power to your business-critical servers and other data center network devices.

Combined with the Avocent CPS serial over IP network appliance, the SPC power control device delivers advanced power management and security:

• The SPC power control device provides enhanced security options, including password protection, access rights and port groupings.
• The CPS serial over IP solution adds authentication and multiple levels of data encryption for advanced user security.

The DSView® software interface, part of the Avocent DS management software suite, lets you easily associate server names with actual power outlet ports on the SPC power management device. DSView software also allows grouping of dual-server power supplies as well as separating the power supplies on different power sources. This gives you true redundancy and control of dual-powered servers.

Note:
DSView software licenses are sold separately.

• Intelligent Power Management. Individual, addressable power outlets let you remotely reboot devices from any location in the data center or across the globe
• Integrated Power Management. Access to SPC power control device from DSView software provides built-in support for servers with multiple power supplies and reduces the possibilities of inadvertently switching off the wrong server / target device
• Higher Amperage. The SPC 208V @ 30 Amp version doubles the power load delivered to the rack without increasing electrical infrastructure
• Ease of Use. Available in 8 and 16-outlet models, with configurable port grouping and naming, multi-port commands and enhanced administration
• On / Off Power Indicators. DSView software lets you easily view the SPC devices power outlet on / off status without entering the server room / data center
• Power-up Sequencing. Avoids branch circuit overload due to inrush current on powering-up the SPC appliance
• Naming Associations. You can create an association between a server name and specific SPC outlet port(s)
• Redundant Power Supply Configurations. Single connect and click power control of dual / multiple target devices that are powered from independent branch circuits / power sources
• Power Monitoring. Dynamically measures and reports total input current load and indicates on / off state for every port
• Security. In addition to port specific and command specific access control, the SPC power control device provides advanced user authentication and data encryption when combined with the Avocent CPS appliance
• Energy Efficient. Power-on sequencing eliminates inrush current overload, which lets you maximize the number of devices on a single circuit
