Starting April 2025, Schleifenbauer is introducing the PDU 5.0, a cutting-edge Power Distribution Unit (PDU) crafted through collaboration with over 40 data centre operators. This next-generation PDU, paired with EnerTree software, is designed to address the unique challenges of modern data centres. Perfectly suited for the high demands of Artificial Intelligence (AI), High-Performance Computing (HPC), and Machine Learning (ML), the PDU 5.0 provides enhanced energy management and performance optimisation. With this solution, data centres can expect reliable, scalable power distribution, advanced monitoring, and seamless adaptability to the evolving digital landscape.
The PDU 5.0 by Schleifenbauer streams live data from the PDU, offering real-time monitoring of power usage and environmental factors. This provides instant access to critical data, allowing you to respond immediately to changes and prevent potential issues, contributing to a more stable and reliable IT environment.
With the ability to manage up to 100 PDUs through a single IP address, the PDU 5.0 minimises network management complexity. This saves time and reduces operational costs, enabling data centre managers to work more efficiently.
The integrated LED ring provides a quick visual status display of the PDU, allowing administrators to instantly understand the PDU’s status and detect any alerts or issues. This feature makes routine checks faster and simpler.
Using the Rack PDU Display app and NFC technology, you can easily access PDU data without the need for a physical display on the PDU itself. This adds flexibility, eliminates a vulnerable component, and allows for secure, rapid local access to PDU measurement data.
With encryption and specific access settings, the PDU 5.0 ensures secure data exchange within your data centre, keeping sensitive information well-protected.
The PDU 5.0 comes equipped with EnerTree software, enabling advanced energy management with monitoring, reporting, and alert features.
The software supports various devices, including third-party PDUs, UPS systems, cooling equipment, and sensors, making it an all-in-one solution for data centre managers.
This functionality enables the PDU to measure the total incoming energy consumption. The unit monitors the complete flow of current, voltage, power, and energy (kWh) from the power source into the PDU.
This data provides valuable insights for analysing and optimising energy usage within the data centre or server room – supporting cost control, capacity planning, and the identification of inefficiencies.
If the PDU is configured with multiple phases, energy consumption is measured per phase. If divided into multiple protected groups, consumption is monitored individually per group.
Measured parameters include: Voltage (V), Voltage dips/spikes (V), Current (A), Peak current (A), Active power (W), Apparent power (VA), Reactive power (VAR), Energy (Wh), Apparent energy (VAh), Total harmonic distortion (%), Crest factor, Frequency (Hz), Power factor.
Monitoring energy consumption also helps improve Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) – a key metric for energy efficiency in data centres – and supports compliance with the EU Energy Efficiency Directive (EED).
This functionality allows connected IT hardware to be remotely powered on or off, enhancing flexibility and efficiency in data centre management. Utilising Near Zero Voltage Switching (N-ZVS) and Outlet Switching Delay, each outlet can be controlled with optimised performance while reducing electrical stress on the power infrastructure.
A remotely switchable PDU provides key benefits such as: Improved energy efficiency by powering down unused equipment, Reduced operational costs through fewer on-site interventions, Enhanced outlet-level power control, Increased availability via remote reboots during incidents In addition, the PDU supports compliance with EU energy efficiency regulations, including the Energy Efficiency Directive (EED).
The modular structure of the PDU 5.0, with hot-swappable communication modules such as Gateway, Controller, and Daisy Chain, offers flexible integration without downtime. This allows for easy adaptation to evolving data centre needs without operational interruptions.
With plug-and-play sensor capabilities, the PDU supports up to 32 sensors per unit, enabling extensive environmental monitoring and management. The dual 1 Gbps network connectivity (Ethernet port & USB Port), Dual Databus, and Dual USB on the Gateway and Controller modules ensure reliable, high-speed connections within your network.Designed for advanced energy management alongside the EnerTree Platform with web GUI, this module centralises data from PDUs, improving efficiency and lowering costs by requiring less hardware within the PDU.
The intelligence of the PDU resides within the EnerTree Platform for high-compute power monitoring, optimising physical storage for historical PDU data, assisting with risk analysis, and system management.
The Gateway module is equipped with a 1 Gbps Ethernet RJ45 port with status indicators, 2 Databus RJ45 ports with status indicators, and 2 USB-A ports. A secondary 1 Gbps Ethernet port is supported via USB. All interfaces support zero-touch provisioning (plug-and-play).
The embedded EnerTree Lite software with an internal web GUI for conventional management. For data centres that prefer a traditional, standalone approach, the Controller Module provides an embedded EnerTree Lite solution with PDU intelligence and web interface within the module.
This module is fully compatible with other PDU monitoring and management software, delivering essential functionality via “EnerTree Lite,” a simplified version of the complete EnerTree platform.
The Controller module is equipped with a 1 Gbps Ethernet RJ45 port with status indicators, 2 Databus RJ45 ports with status indicators, and 2 USB-A ports. A secondary 1 Gbps Ethernet port is supported via USB. All interfaces support zero-touch provisioning (plug-and-play).
A secure data communication module without an Ethernet port, collecting and transmitting data from PDU to the Gateway or Controller. The Daisy Chain Module acts as a Data Relay Module, facilitating PDU network expansion by creating a ring topology.
This reduces the need for additional Ethernet ports and enhances security by minimising the risk of external access. In this ring configuration, a single Gateway or Controller module suffices to communicate with the EnerTree platform or other PDU monitoring systems, supporting up to 100 PDUs on one IP address.
This setup enables ultra-fast, real-time data transmission, improving scalability and operational efficiency. The module is equipped with 2 Databus RJ45 ports with status indicators and 2 USB-A ports. All interfaces support zero-touch provisioning (plug-and-play).
