Advanced Power Management Solution
EnerTree & PDU 5.0 for Enhanced Data Centre Energy Management
Schleifenbauer EnerTree empowers Data Centres to work smarter and more sustainably by offering real-time monitoring, comprehensive security, and an integrated interface. This solution, combined with the flexibility of PDU 5.0 found on Schleifenbauer’s metered, monitored, switched, and managed PDUs and inline power meters, elevates energy management reliability and efficiency to new heights.
Flexible Architecture
Building on the adaptability of PDU 5.0 communication modules, EnerTree allows your Data Centre to expand and evolve effortlessly with its needs.
The complementary software is available in two variants:
- EnerTree Platform: A comprehensive version for desktop or server installation, supporting up to 10,000 PDUs. It requires a PDU 5.0 PDU equipped with a Gateway Module.
- EnerTree Lite: This version is embedded in PDU 5.0 PDUs with the Controller Module fitted, providing access to 100 PDUs, perfect for conventional use directly or through other DCIM software platforms.
EnerTree Energy Management
EnerTree seamlessly integrates with any Data Centre infrastructure, offering robust security and scalability, making it the ideal solution for Data Centres of all sizes.
- Real-Time Monitoring for Maximum Uptime: EnerTree delivers advanced real-time monitoring of PDUs, UPS systems, and cooling, with the ability to monitor temperature and other climate sensors. This allows for immediate improvements to prevent failures, optimise efficiency, and maximise uptime.
- Proactive Reporting for Predictive Maintenance: Administrators access detailed reports on critical performance metrics, enabling predictive analysis to spot issues before they escalate into problems.
- Visual Clarity: A user-friendly interface serves as a powerful visualisation tool, modelling your Data Centre to simplify infrastructure understanding. It helps streamline incident decision-making, reducing errors in incident response and enabling rapid strategy implementation.
- Efficient Asset Management for Improved Reliability: DCEM software facilitates easy energy consumption monitoring and evaluates equipment performance to identify inefficiency. This optimisation of usage enhances asset efficiency, bolstering Data Centre reliability while trimming energy expenses.
- Smart Capacity Planning for Futureproof Designs: By amassing valuable data for scenario analysis and predictive maintenance, Data Centre planning decisions concerning equipment placement, capacity, and resource use become more strategic, leading to superior energy efficiency and operational performance.
- Seamless Integration with DCIM: EnerTree supports protocols like HTTP/HTTPS, REST API, MODBUS/TCP, and SNMP (v1/v2c/v3), enabling easy integration with existing DCIM software for centralised system monitoring and management.
- High-level Security: EnerTree employs advanced security measures such as Active Directory, LDAP/S, AES 256-bit encryption, and SSL/TLS 1.3. These features, combined with user-friendly access controls and encrypted communications, maximise infrastructure and data security.
- Reliable Energy Management & Cost Savings: EnerTree boasts features like peak consumption monitoring, voltage dip detection, and harmonic monitoring, empowering Data Centres to cut costs, minimise downtime, and maximise energy efficiency.
- High-Performance Computing Compatibility: Combined with PDU 5.0 HPC PDUs fitted with Gateway Modules, EnerTree provides a robust platform supporting HPC and AI applications.
