Vertiv Geist rPDU Switched Plus 3-Phase 60A

The Vertiv Geist rPDU Switched Plus 3-Phase 60A is an intelligent rack power distribution unit designed to address the extreme power density demands of modern AI, GPU compute, and hyperscale data center environments. Built on Vertiv's Geist rPDU platform, the unit delivers per-outlet metering with true RMS current, voltage, power factor, and kWh energy measurement, giving operators granular visibility into individual load behavior across every receptacle. The integrated switching capability allows remote on/off control of individual outlets, enabling precise sequenced power-up procedures, remote load shedding, and non-disruptive troubleshooting without dispatching on-site personnel. The unit supports SNMP v1/v2c/v3, Modbus TCP, and RESTful API integration, making it natively compatible with DCIM platforms, building management systems, and automation pipelines.

The architecture centers on a high-accuracy metering ASIC per outlet branch, delivering ±1% current measurement accuracy to support chargeback, capacity planning, and PUE reporting in multi-tenant and enterprise colocation environments. A color OLED local display provides real-time phase current, load percentage, and alarms without requiring network access. The unit's three-phase input accommodates the 60A service levels typical of high-density GPU racks deploying NVIDIA HGX, DGX, or AMD Instinct systems, while the flexible outlet configuration supports both C13 and C19 receptacles in various quantity combinations to serve mixed server and PDU-level power shelf topologies.

Vertiv engineered the Switched Plus line with zero-U vertical form factor options and tool-free mounting brackets to preserve valuable rack unit space in densely populated cabinets. Firmware updates are delivered over-network, and the embedded web interface supports role-based access control, environmental sensor integration via external USB sensor ports, and configurable threshold-based alerting for proactive capacity management. Compliance with UL 60950, IEC 62368, and RoHS standards ensures suitability for global enterprise data center deployments.

Ideal for

• Remote outlet-level power cycling of GPU compute nodes during firmware recovery or post-maintenance reboot sequences without requiring a hands-on data center technician
• Energy chargeback metering in multi-tenant colocation facilities where per-rack and per-server power consumption must be tracked and reported independently for each customer
• Sequential power-up orchestration in high-density AI training clusters to prevent inrush current spikes when bringing large GPU racks online after planned maintenance windows
• Capacity planning and rack power budgeting in hyperscale build-outs by collecting real-time kWh and power factor data per outlet and feeding it directly into DCIM analytics platforms via SNMP or REST API
• Proactive thermal and power anomaly detection in GPU inference racks by configuring per-outlet threshold alerts that trigger automated load redistribution or alerting workflows before circuit breakers trip
• Compliance reporting and sustainability auditing for enterprise ESG initiatives, leveraging per-phase and per-outlet energy data to calculate accurate PUE and carbon intensity metrics at the rack level
