Raritan Appoints Argent

Raritan, a leading global provider of IT infrastructure & intelligent power management solutions announced today it has appointed Argent Techno Racking as a Gold Authorised Partner.

"Argent is excited about the partnership,” said Steve Edwards, General Manager. “Raritan’s range of intelligent PDUs (Power Distribution Units) provide power recycling down to the outlet level, are competitively priced and provide customers with immediate and long-term advantages,” Edwards said.

“Power availability & reliability is quickly becoming a challenge for IT organisations. IT and data-centre managers need to understand their current power usage and avoid blowing circuits due to drawing excess power when they add a new server or IT device” Edwards said.

“In the not too distant future IT organisations will be responsible for the power cost of IT infrastructure, and IT and data-centre managers will face mounting ‘green’ pressure to reduce their power consumption, or ‘carbon footprint’. The first step in effectively managing power resources is to understand your existing usage – that’s where Raritan’s intelligent PDUs come in with metering down to the outlet level.”

Gary Hull, Raritan’s Director of Sales, Australia and New Zealand said, “Raritan is pleased to announce Argent as a Certified Gold Partner as we continue to develop a Power distribution channel for our expanding suite of Intelligent Power solutions.”

“Most PDUs are purchased as part of a pre-configured racking solution so it makes sense to partner with best-of-breed local rack manufacturers and suppliers to offer competitively-priced intelligent PDU rack bundles which address customers’ current and future power concerns.” Hull said.
