Refurbished power solutions

Professional Power Solutions for Servers & Data Centers

A stable power supply is the backbone of any reliable IT infrastructure. In our Power Supply category, GEKKO Computer offers carefully tested and readily available UPS systems (Uninterruptible Power Supplies) and PDUs (Power Distribution Units) – ideal for use in server rooms, rack cabinets, and enterprise data centers. Our products come from trusted brands like APC, Eaton, HP, and Vertiv, and are professionally refurbished to deliver excellent reliability at competitive prices.

What’s the Difference Between a UPS and a PDU?

While UPS systems protect hardware from power outages and voltage fluctuations, PDUs handle the structured and safe power distribution within your server rack. Both components are essential for smooth IT operations – but serve different roles:

• UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply): A UPS protects your systems from power loss, voltage spikes, and blackouts. Built-in batteries provide emergency runtime, allowing systems to shut down safely or switch to backup power automatically.
• PDU (Power Distribution Unit): A PDU distributes power from a central source to multiple devices within the rack. Depending on the model, it can range from simple power strips to intelligent units with load monitoring, IP management, and redundant failover options.
   

Why Are UPS Systems and PDUs Essential for Business IT?

A sudden power failure can crash Server, corrupt data, and bring down entire business processes. UPS units actively guard against these risks – providing runtime reserves, initiating shutdown protocols, and protecting data integrity. They are a must-have for critical applications like hosting environments, databases, virtualization, and storage systems.

PDUs ensure clean and manageable power distribution. They allow targeted shutdowns, real-time monitoring, and the implementation of redundant power paths. Advanced intelligent PDUs offer remote access, per-outlet switching, and precise energy metrics – perfect for data centers focused on efficiency and sustainability.

Technical Differences Among UPS and PDU Models

UPS systems are available as line-interactive or online/double-conversion UPS. Online models offer the highest level of protection with constant power conditioning – ideal for mission-critical systems. Line-interactive models are more cost-effective and energy-efficient but less suitable for unstable power environments.

PDUs also vary significantly – from basic units to metered, monitored, or switched PDUs. The latter allow remote control of individual outlets via web interface or SNMP protocol, providing maximum flexibility.
