A single compromised PDU can lead to unplanned outages and financial loss

Cybersecurity risks are no longer confined to the network—they now reach the rack, where a compromised PDU can disrupt entire systems. With breaches averaging around € 4 million and downtime costing up to € 9000 per second, securing your power infrastructure is critical to protecting uptime and revenue.

Built Different: A New Class of Secure PDUs

In a zero-trust era, true data centre security starts at the hardware level—not with promises, but with proven protection. While most PDUs rely on standard security features, only Raritan PX4 and Server Technology PRO4X deliver a uniquely verified, hardware-rooted approach. The matrix below highlights how this “Triple Crown” of security sets them apart from conventional industry PDUs—bringing unmatched resilience to your power infrastructure.
