Applications

GROCERIES
Groceries and convenience stores conduct business for long stretches of time, if not the whole day. To lessen the risk of downtime, these stores require robust power distribution but have little room for IT equipment. With its small form factor, the Vertiv Geist Horizontal Switched Rack PDU can be placed under the checkout counters of these stores and deliver reliable power distribution without taking up too much space.

FAST FOOD/RETAIL
To provide the best customer experience, locations like fast food restaurants and retail stores offer online transactions, making continuous uptime necessary for the business. But these locations usually have IT racks that have no room for long vertical 0U PDUs. As a 1U rack PDU, the Vertiv Geist Horizontal Switched rPDU is mounted in the U-space, making it ideal for short and cramped network closets.

EDUCATION
Education has become increasingly dependent on connectivity. Even dorm rooms have critical IT equipment that need power distribution to stay online, but traditional 0U vertical PDUs might have more outlets than are necessary or take up too much space for these situations. Since most models are equipped with no more than 12 outlets, the Vertiv Geist Horizontal Switched rPDU can be an ideal solution for similar IT challenges.


FINANCE
Financial institutions cannot afford any kind of downtime since they support online transactions around the clock. Having a reliable power distribution unit can help their IT equipment stay online 24/7. The Vertiv Geist rPDU, which undergoes individual testing for functionality, ensures your business is powered by a PDU that meets global standards.

ENTERPRISE DATA CENTER
Enterprise Data Centers power thousands of servers and switches, making remote power monitoring and management necessary. With advanced power monitoring and outlet level switching, the Vertiv Geist Horizontal Switched rPDU can help data center managers analyze data and maximize uptime by remotely turning off receptacles to avoid accidental overloads, or power cycling outlets to reboot unresponsive IT equipment.

COLOCATIONS
Colocation facilities offer services to all kinds of clients, even those who require just a small partial space inside a rack. With its 1U horizontal form factor, the Vertiv Geist Horizontal Switched rPDU can help system integrators provide reliable and intelligent power distribution to those clients without taking up the U space that can be used for clients that require a vertical PDU.
