Did IT security flag your legacy rack PDUs for removal or block rack PDUs from being networked? RF Code R170 and R175 wireless sensors create an air-gapped monitoring layer at a fraction of replacement cost, with zero data center downtime.
Avoid unnecessary capital expenditure, security recertifications, and facility downtime by comparing the total impact of both approaches.
| Consideration | Full Rack PDU Replacement | RF Code R170 / R175 Retrofit |
|---|---|---|
| Capital Cost | Expensive hardware swap | Fraction of the cost |
| Facility Impact | Downtime & recabling risk | Zero data center downtime |
| IT Security Approval | Long recertification cycle | Complies instantly (air-gapped off-network) |
| Installation Time | Days/weeks per aisle | Minutes per rack (wirelessly paired) |
You don't have to replace a rack PDU just because it can no longer stay on the network. It's possible to have it all - save money by not buying new PDUs and meet your security and monitoring requirements.
Deploy R170 and R175 tags across your existing rack infrastructure without physical cabling or proprietary protocol constraints. Don't see your rack PDU manufacturer listed? Contact us because new manufacturers can be added.
Compatible with a wide selection of rack PDUs. Monitors the PDU without a network connection — taking smart PDUs off the network while preserving monitoring capability.
Securely monitoring rack PDUs without connecting them to the network.
Compatible with older PDUs from Server Tech and APC. Same off-network security model as the R175 — keeps smart PDUs secure while maintaining monitoring capability.
Securely monitoring rack PDUs that cannot be connected to the network.
Create a secure air gap between smart rPDUs and your network. Smart and Secure.
Meet IT security requirements by putting an air gap between the rPDU and your network and eliminating access to rPDU controls.
