Stringent Cyber Security Assurance
Enlogic Advantage Series power distribution unit (PDU) products have recently earned certification to UL 2900 through the UL Cybersecurity Assurance Program (UL CAP).
At nVent, we believe that safer systems ensure a more secure world, and this certification demonstrates our commitment to products that are hardened against potential cyber threats. Enlogic by nVent PDUs are among the first in the data solutions industry to achieve UL 2900 certification for data center PDUs.
“Data and systems security is imperative in data center applications. Every network-connected device is a possible attack point for cyber criminals with the potential for data loss and downtime of key operations in infrastructure, medical and financial systems,” stated Shubhayu Chakraborty, president of nVent CIS Global by nVent. “Ensuring the Enlogic power distribution products are hardened to cyber threats is imperative to our customers’ threat mitigation.”
UL2900 certification specifies the methods by which a product is evaluated and tested for the presence of vulnerabilities, software weaknesses and malware. It has been adopted as an American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standard. The standard includes requirements and methods to evaluate and test network-connectable products, including:
Software developer requirements and risk management process for the product.
Evaluation and test methods for the presence of vulnerabilities, software weaknesses, and malware.
Security risk control requirements for the architecture and design of a product.
As the world becomes more sustainable and electrified and global demand for data continues to grow, we will continue to develop innovative solutions to connect, protect and manage heat in critical systems for our data solutions customers. From energy-efficient cooling solutions to keeping operations safe from cyber threats, we are ready to meet our customers’ ever-changing needs.
User Customisable Coloured LED Border
Almost all data center industry experts agree that color-coding PDUs are valuable to operation and overall maintenance of your data center and connected equipment. The benefits of colored PDUs are:
Simplify data center operations: colored PDUs make it easy to identify redundant power sources for servers and critical IT equipment. This allows technicians to clearly identify which power source feeds the equipment, to take any confusion or hassle out of rack operations.
Increase reliability: colorizing redundant power sources makes it easy to identify voltage and power consumption in the data centre power feeds, which makes load balancing and management more consistent.
Faster troubleshooting: when a data centre power source fails, identifying the issue as quickly as possible is essential to ensure uptime of critical equipment. Coloured PDUs make it easy for data center technicians to perform maintenance activities with less potential for human error.
The Problem
And while data center management professionals overwhelmingly agree that color coding redundant power sources in a data center cabinet is beneficial, there are still drawbacks associated with colorizing PDUs:
Increased cost: ordering custom colored PDUs is more costly than ordering standard colored (black) PDUs. While Enlogic is equipped to deliver custom powder-coated PDU chassis in nearly any color, the development and production effort associated with this is more costly than ordering a standard colored PDU.
Time constraints: additionally, preparing the custom color can be a timely process to develop, approve, and manufacture. Many times, this will create an additional 2-4 weeks of production lead time for the PDU, and typically, customers need their units in a shorter time period.
Ordering complexity: many data centre professionals agree that it is critical to have additional, backup PDUs in stock in case of failure or for routine replacement. Stocking multiple colors and SKUs for each rack configuration reduces the flexibility of inventory on hand.
The Enlogic Solution
Enlogic’s EN2.0 PDUs offer the industry’s quickest, and most cost-effective solution that allows users to configure custom-colored PDUs. Our Patent Pending technology comes standard on all EN2.0 PDUs and allows users to customize and change the NMC color quickly and easily to differentiate redundant power sources, reduce human error, and simplify data center operations.
The NMC color is easily configured on the NMC interface or using Enlogic’s simple web interface. Users can select from any of the bright, highly visible NMC colors: blue, red, green, yellow, magenta, cyan, white, and black. Customization of your PDUs has never been easier with Enlogic’s EN2.0.
However, for users who are still looking to further customize their PDU chassis with any of our custom powder-coated colors, Enlogic makes the process simple and streamlined with quicker lead times than competitors.
