APC's Switched Rack Power Distribution Units (PDUs) are premium solutions to many of the power management problems seen in today's IT environments. Some of the problems are unauthorized use of power outlets, locked-up equipment, in-rush current, overloaded circuits, and the need of remote access to power outlets in the rack. The Switched Rack PDUs address these problems through individual outlet control, power on and off delays, current monitoring, alarm thresholds, and network management. Individual outlet control allows users to turn outlets on, turn outlets off, or recycle power to equipment, which can reboot locked up equipment and avoid unauthorized use of outlets. Power delays allow users to determine the order in which equipment is powered up or down. Utilizing the power delay feature will avoid in-rush current, which can cause overloads. Monitoring the current draw at the rack level is key to avoiding downtime due to overloaded circuits. The Switched Rack PDUs provide an aggregate current draw, which can be viewed remotely or locally, via digital display. In addition, alarms will be generated based on user-defined thresholds to alert users of potential circuit overloads.

Maximize your 10/100 network. The NETGEAR® FSM7326P Switch features Power-over-Ethernet (PoE), which optimizes the installation and power management of network devices such as wireless access points (AP), Voice over IP (VoIP) phones, and security video cameras. Power-over-Ethernet (IEEE 802.3af) capabilities reduce installation costs for many new network productivity devices. It frees your wireless AP deployment from restrictions due to power outlet locations. Power and data switching are integrated into one unit and delivered over a single cable, eliminating costs for additional AC wiring and reducing installation time.

Network administrators can use any combination of these features to ensure uptime, availability, bandwidth, and throughput.

NETGEAR's low-cost, stackable, Fast Ethernet switch delivers maximum throughput and flexibility where you need it - to high-density workgroups at the edge of the network, or in the backbone of small networks. The Netgear ProSafe FSM7352S is a managed 48-port switch with auto-sensing 10/100 ports and four 10/100/1000 ports. This enables fiber connectivity through four hot-swappable Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) gigabit interfaces. The non-blocking design of the switch delivers simultaneous, full wire-speed, low-latency throughput to all ports. In addition, the 1U rack-mount form factor uses less rack space and provides a lower per-port cost than comparable Fast Ethernet switches.

The Accelar 8000 chassis features a passive switching architecture that is designed to provide high availability for the wide range of supported technologies. Up to three load-sharing and load-balancing power supplies can be installed, with a fully loaded chassis able to operate with any two power supplies present, providing N+1 power redundancy. All power supplies can be hot-swapped. Both AC and DC power supplies are available, allowing the chassis to be deployed in both enterprise and service provider networks. Fan-trays (dual in the 10-slot chassis) are provided for cooling, and include hot-swap capability. The chassis provides system monitoring and automated reporting of component failure for power supplies, fans, system modules and interface modules. Accelar 8000 supports distributed switching and management, eliminating single points of failure and providing total system resilience. Redundant MultiLink Trunking (MLT) provides scalable riser, server and inter-switch bandwidth, with the trunk ports distributed across separate modules. This eliminates the single point of failure found in many trunking implementations that terminate on a single module in the chassis. LinkSafe backbone and riser connections provide recovery from cabling failures in microseconds, ensuring maximum uptime for critical business applications.Accelar 8000 provides complete security for the campus LAN, restricting network access to authorized users and controlling access to departments, servers and critical applications.The Accelar 8000 chassis provides simplified installation and maintenance, with power supplies, fan trays and all system and interface modules being accessible from the front of the chassis. The system supports scalable switching bandwidth from 50Gbps to 256Gbps and a wide range of interface types, initially including Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet and ATM. Interface modules for multi-service MAN and WAN connectivity will also be available in future.MultiLink Trunking (MLT) provides scalable riser, server and inter-switch bandwidth up to 8 Gbps today, scaling to 32 Gbps in the future. Effective control of bandwidth-hungry IP Multicast applications is automatically provided using standard IETF protocols - there is no added complexity by unnecessarily adding new protocols to handle Multicast traffic. Policy services and prioritization for critical applications are easily implemented and monitored on the Accelar 8000 using Optivity end to end policy management. Intelligent agents in the Accelar 8000 interface modules provide Class of Service (CoS) support using industry standards to carry priority information across the network.Configuration and management of Accelar 8000 switches is supported by Nortel Networks' industry and market-leading Optivity network management system, including a common Command Line Interface (CLI) across the Nortel Networks enterprise product families. Every Accelar 8000 switch port also supports 4 groups of RMON, Port Mirroring and Remote Traffic Monitoring (RTM), enabling network managers to diagnose problems without leaving their desks.
