WTI VMR-HD4D16 remote power controller

VMR-HD4D16 - Fast Ethernet, RJ-45, RS-232, 4500g, Black/Silver The VMR includes a robust selection of monitoring features, including event alarms, outlet-specific metering and SNMP polling to help you keep tabs on vital network elements, avoid costly service calls and maximize up time.

The VMR-HD4D16 features dual 16 Amp inputs, (4) four individually metered & switched IEC C19 outlets and (4) four 16 Amp UL-489 circuit breakers. Each circuit breaker protects one IEC C19 outlet and supports up to 16 Amps. The VMR-HD4D16 is ideal for remote power control and management of Cisco Catalyst LAN Switches, Cisco Data Center Switches, Sun Blade 6000 Chassis, HP BladeSystem Enclosures and other high-amp equipment.

Advanced outlet level power metering capabilities allow the VMR-HD4D16 to measure and report Kilowatt Hours, Kilowatts, Amps, Voltage and Temperature. When any of these factors exceed threshold values, the VMR-HD can switch or reboot power and promptly send notification. In addition to its many alarm functions, the VMR-HD can also perform remote reboots and power shutdowns on individual outlets according to a user-defined schedule, when a ping command fails or on demand.

Energy consumption data from your IT equipment can be individually assessed at each VMR-HD circuit and used for billing, heat calculation and load distribution. The VMR's intelligent, feature-rich design allows you to meter, report and control total current, power and energy consumption in your rack, cabinet or remote site. This provides the perfect solution for data centers striving for reduced energy costs and LEED certification.

The VMR-HD can be configured and operated via its convenient IP web browser interface or by any SNMP MIB based enterprise management software.

<b>Application Examples:</b>
The VMR-HD4D16 is ideal for high amp power control applications, such as rebooting blade servers, firewalls, routers, switches and other devices, as described in the following examples:

<b>Power Management for HP C7000 Blade Servers</b>
The VMR-HD4D16 is the perfect tool for controlling 200 to 240V AC power to a Hewlett Packard C7000 Blade Server. The VMR-HD includes two separate power buses; this makes the VMR-HD particularly well suited for devices such as the HP C7000 that require power supply redundancy. Each power bus is split in two, individually breakered circuits; each circuit includes two switched 16 Amp IEC C19 outlets, for a total of 4 outlets (one outlet per breaker, two breakers per bus.) The VMR-HD4D16 can also remotely reboot or power down the HP C7000 Blade Server, monitor power consumption, temperature and other factors, and generate alarm notification when critical events are detected.

<b>Remote Power Reboot for Cisco Catalyst 6500</b>
In this example, the VMR-HD4D16 is used to remotely reboot or power down a Cisco Catalyst 6500 switch. The VMR's four outlet metered & switched, 16 Amp IEC C-19 outlets are used to provide power control for the Cisco Catalyst. In addition to controlling power, the VMR can also measure power consumption by the Cisco switch, and report results in chart or text format. The VMR-HD is also compatible with Cisco EnergyWise.

<b>Measuring and Controlling Power to Sun Blade 6000 Servers</b>
The VMR-HD4D16 is well suited for controlling power and reboot functions for Sun Blade 6000 servers. In addition to power control and reboot functions, the VMR-HD also provides the ability to meter energy use by the Sun Blade 6000 and report findings in text or graph format; a very valuable tool for those who need to track power use and energy costs. The VMR's four outlet metered & switched, 16 Amp IEC C-19 outlets are used to provide power control for the Sun Blade 6000.
