Remote Power Management

Manage Power of Remote Locations

WTI Remote Power Management units provide network administrators with the same On/Off/Reboot power control capabilities and environmental and event monitoring capabilities as if you had a full time technician stationed at your remote network equipment rack. With remote power management, power reboots, status reports, and current consumption information are as convenient and easy to access as your mouse or keyboard.

Managing power at a remote equipment rack would be pretty simple if we could all afford to keep IT support personnel on duty at that remote equipment rack 24/7. Rebooting troublesome network elements, tracking power consumption and monitoring rack temperatures would be simple if the remote equipment rack was within arm’s reach of an on-site technician, but who has that kind budget these days? Well, as it turns out, just about everybody can afford a WTI Remote Power Management unit, which can accomplish all of those tasks and more … without on-site support personnel.

WTI Remote Power Management units allow you to control On/Off and reboot switching at remote network equipment sites, and monitor temperature, power supply stability and other factors from the comfort of your office. The WTI Remote Power Management unit can monitor rack temperatures, current usage, device responsiveness, invalid access attempts and other relevant factors and promptly report when any of those conditions exceeds user-defined threshold values … and it never takes a coffee break or calls in sick for the day.

Supports Both IPv4 and IPv6

In order to prepare for the upcoming switchover to IPv6 protocol, all WTI Remote Power Management Products now provide full support for both IPv4 and IPv6 (the intended successor to IPv4.) This helps to ensure that WTI Remote Power Management Products purchased today will be fully compatible with the planned IPv6 internet environment, and will not be rendered obsolete when the IPv6 protocol eventually becomes the new worldwide standard for network communications.

Includes Enterprise Management Software

All WTI Remote Power Management products include WTI’s convenient Enterprise Management Software, which drastically simplifies the task of managing multiple Remote Power Management units spread throughout your network infrastructure. The WMU Enterprise Management Software provides a centralized command interface that allows administrators to easily manage, label and control multiple WTI Remote Power Management units in large network applications, reducing the time required to access power reboot and power switching functions on connected devices.

Once installed on your PC or laptop, the Enterprise Management Software can search a user-defined IP address range on your network and discover all compatible WTI devices within the range. Discovered devices are then added to the Enterprise Management Software’s inventory, allowing administrators to assign a descriptive tag to each Remote Power Management switch in order to denote the location or function of the device. In addition to providing a centralized interface for invoking power reboot and switching functions, the Enterprise Management Software can also be used to control firmware updates for WTI products and edit and manage user accounts at individual or multiple WTI devices.
