Sentry Power Manager
Reno, Nevada, USA
What it is
Sentry Power Manager provides a central interface for monitoring and controlling intelligent rack PDUs across data centers. It collects power and environmental readings, tracks trends, and estimates when capacity, power, or temperature limits may be exceeded. The SNAP feature applies system, IP, and security templates and can automate firmware updates and configuration changes. Scheduled reports can be displayed, exported, or emailed, covering billing, carbon footprint, rack redundancy, and energy consumption. An open, documented API exchanges power and environmental data with BMS and DCIM systems, with optional REST and SOAP support. The appliance-based system runs for a server or VMware environment and includes a browser-based GUI. Access rights can be authenticated locally or through LDAP or TACACS+ servers, and SSL certificates can be uploaded. Listed integrations include Cormant Cable Solve, FieldView, Nlyte, Siemens WinPM.net, and Splunk Enterprise via an app. Compatibility includes Server Technology CDUs plus APC, Eaton, Raritan, and Tripp Lite PDU families. Version 6.3 is identified as the final major release and final downloadable version. A free 120-day trial is offered; pricing requires contacting Server Technology.
